Akron is a large Ohio city with a population of more than 200,000 people. It is located in northeastern Ohio on the Cuyahoga River, just west of Pennsylvania. Akron began as a manufacturing city, though it has become more of a haven for research, technology, and financial industries since the decline of their manufacturing industry. Akron is in close proximity to Canton, Ohio, making the two cities often considered as though they are one. Many places in both Akron and Canton have shared names, such as the Akron-Canton Regional Airport. The combination of the two cities makes Akron an exciting place to live, with a number of accessible restaurants, shopping centers, and employment opportunities.
