Here is an excerpt from the above history page. Click on that link for more history information. "Canton goes back to 1769, when the site was bequeathed by a Delaware Indian to a white man and sold in turn to Bezaleel Wells, a surveyor from Steubenville; he in turn laid out the first plot and sold lots in 1806. Canton was the first town to be laid out and settled in Stark County. The same year the first log cabin was erected and the first state road to the southwest opened. In 1807, the first store was established and a tanyard and gristmill started. In 1809, the Government established a Post Office. In 1811, the first schoolhouse was built. In 1815, Canton was incorporated as a village, 1834 as a town, and 1854 as a city. The question is often asked, "Where did Canton get its name"? An Irish trader by the name of Captain John O'Donnell purchased a plantation in Baltimore and named it "The Canton Estate" in commemoration of the fact that he had transported the first cargo to arrive at Baltimore from Canton, China. Bezaleel Wells was living in Baltimore at the time, and Captain O'Donnell was a hero to him and the other young men of the town. Six weeks before Mr. Wells recorded the plat of Canton in New Lisbon, news of Captain O'Donnell's death reached Steubenville. Therefore, when Mr. Wells recorded the plat and named it, he called it Canton." Historical Photos of Canton. The Birthplace of Modern Football Back on an upper floor of a recently torn down building in downtown Canton, Ohio (around 1920), the first professional league in the US was formed. Of course, the Professional Football Hall of Fame was located here in the early 1960's because of that fact.
