History On May 19, 1910, Ohio Governor Judson Harmon signed into law the Lowry bill to establish two normal schools in northern Ohio, one in the northwest and one in the northeast. A five-member search commission was formed to examine the bids from each community interested in hosting the schools.

History Of Kent, Ohio
The area now occupied by the city of Kent, Ohio, was previously inhabited by various Native American tribes until the 19th century. Though no record of any settlement exists, the area was located along several known trails. In 1798 it was sold to Aaron Olmsted as part of the Connecticut Western Reserve. He initially named the area "Franklin" after his son, Aaron Franklin Olmsted. The first settlers, the Haymaker family, arrived in late 1805, having been attracted to the area by the Cuyahoga River and its potential for powering gristmills. Twin settlements developed along the river, known locally as the "upper" and "lower" villages and collectively as Franklin Mills, though the upper village was also known for a time as Carthage. In the late 1830s and early 1840s, construction of the Pennsylvania and Ohio Canal helped fuel construction of a central business area opposite the twin villages though most of the anticipated growth from the canal was never realized. Later, the village ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Record-Courier (Ohio)
The ''Record-Courier'' is an American daily newspaper in Portage County, Ohio, based in Kent. It is published by Gannett of Tysons Corner, Virginia, after having previously been owned by Dix Communications of Kent and Wooster, Ohio, until 2017. History The historical origins of the modern ''Record-Courier'' begin with the ''Ohio Star,'' which was first printed in 1830. In 1854 it merged with the ''Home Companion and Whig'' to become the ''Portage County Democrat,'' which supported the Free Soil Party and the Know Nothings. As those views became tied to the Republican Party, the paper supported the Union in the American Civil War and changed its name to the ''Portage Co. Republican Democrat'' after the war in 1868. In 1882, the paper bought the ''Portage County Republican'' and merged the two to create the ''Ravenna Republican.'' It would continue under this name until 1928, when it began a series of name changes until it settled on the ''Record-Courier'' in 1961. In March 201 ...
