Williams had come here around 1811 and he and Perkins thought up the idea of a settlement here. Nearby North Akron had been founded in 1833, so the men added South to Akron for their settlement. The two towns merged in 1836 and incorporated. In 1840 it also became the county seat of Summit County. During the early 1900's, Akron grew at an amazing rate. Many businesses came to the area as the proximity to canals, railroads and highways was good for business. Some previous nicknames were the Rubber City and the City of Invention. It was also known as the Tire City. Here is a history page for Akron with many historical links.
