Before there was a league, there was a car showroom in Canton.
On September 17, 1920, the men who ran America's professional football teams met in Ralph Hay's Hupmobile showroom and organized the league that became the NFL, with Jim Thorpe as its first president. A generation earlier, William McKinley ran a presidential campaign from his front porch in Canton, receiving delegations by the trainload without ever leaving home.
Stark County: Steel, Presidents and the Birth of Pro Football tells the whole story of one of Ohio's great working counties, in order, with nothing skipped: Bezaleel Wells platting Canton in 1805, the canal boats at Massillon, Timken bearings, Diebold safes, Belden Brick and Republic Steel, a suction sweeper built in North Canton that became Hoover, and the Massillon-McKinley rivalry that still stops two cities every fall.
Book Three of a history of all eighty-eight Ohio counties.
