A vacuum’s legacy: North Canton, then and now
About 50 miles south of Cleveland, North Canton is a small Ohio city connected to Massillon and Canton. North Canton was built on the fortunes of Hoover vacuums, with founder William H. Hoover serving as the village’s first mayor in 1906. The Hoover Company sponsored the first firehouse, YMCA and library throughout the 20th century, and the headquarters employed almost 3,000 people in its heyday. When the factory closed in 2007, the town's workforce diversified. Today, Diebold Nixdorf, The Timken Company, the North Canton Board of Education and Walsh University are some of the city’s biggest employers. Even with these changes, the 18,000 residents haven’t lost their sense of small-town community. “If anyone has a problem, we come together to solve it,” says Dave Shilling, a lifelong resident and building administrator at North Canton YMCA. He goes on to describe events that bring the community together. “We have the Main Street Festival in August that mixes art and amateur wrestling. It also has a car show, pizza vendors and concerts that have been well attended. There’s always something going on at the Y, too, since it’s one of the top 10 biggest in the country.”
North Canton residents have easy access to an assortment of everyday amenities.
North Canton is home to the original Hoover Vacuum Compnay and factory.

Price and Dogwood Parks, North Canton YMCA
Price Park is what locals call the jewel of North Canton. Its 18 acres include a sand volleyball court, installed in 2023, and a pond inhabited by ducks and geese. Encircled by a mile-long paved path, willow and dogwood trees drape over the water, and four picnic shelters are available for rent. About 2 miles northeast, Dogwood Park’s Possibility Playground has adaptive playground equipment. “You go there on the weekends when the weather’s decent, and it’s packed,” says Shilling. “In the summers, the place is especially crowded because of its Independence Day fireworks.” The North Canton YMCA also hosts the annual July 4th Race, sponsored by Main Street businesses and Walsh University. This walker- and wheelchair-friendly race usually has 1,200 to 2,000 participants.
Nearby Canton is home to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, which is expanding beyond its gridiron roots to include shops, restaurants and an indoor water park.
Edemeyer Park is home to all things football.

Affordable homes near major employers
The median sale price is $270,000, 33% lower than the national average. New jobs have created more demand for the housing market. This is especially true in neighborhoods such as Lake Cable, where homes range from $500,000 to $850,000, their prices bolstered by a recreation association and water views. However, mid-century fixer-uppers fall around $225,000 throughout the city and renovated homes are toward the 300s. New construction is more common on the outskirts.
A variety of home styles can be found in North Canton.

A mile south and an extension of The Strip, Belden Village Mall is an indoor shopping center with chain clothing shops, fast-food spots and a few independent restaurants. “North Canton has a few little spots downtown, but you can always go next door to Canton,” says Shilling.

Interstate 77 commutes and the Akron-Canton Airport
Though most people in North Canton drive, limited public transportation is available through the Stark Area Regional Transit Authority, known locally as SARTA, which provides routes to Belden Village, Aultman Medical Center– North and North Canton Industrial Park.
Via Interstate 77 northbound, residents can access Akron, 18 miles away, and Cleveland, 54 miles away. Here, they can travel abroad through Cleveland Hopkins International Airport, or they might use Akron-Canton Airport’s 20 domestic nonstops. Though North Canton is built for cars, most neighborhoods have sidewalks, and the town is 6 square miles. “You’ll see a lot of bikes in the summer because we have a trail system that goes through North Canton,” says Shilling. “But it just depends where you live. If you live close to the city center, you can walk to the restaurants or the ice cream parlor. Some people live on the outskirts, and driving would be better.”

According to FBI statistics, reports of violent crime and property crime in North Canton are lower than the Ohio and national averages. Rates of crime reports have fallen from 2015 to 2022.
