Rooted in Community and History
North Canton, Ohio, formerly known as New Berlin, is a city with a rich and storied past. Originally settled in 1805 by German immigrants, the community has grown from a tiny village to a vibrant city with nearly 18,000 residents. In 1905, William H. Hoover, founder of the Hoover Vacuum Company, became the town’s first mayor. Today, North Canton blends small-town charm with the conveniences of modern living. With a land area of just 6.4 square miles, North Canton is a close-knit community surrounded by natural beauty, educational opportunities, and local attractions.
