Facts About Lorain, OH
Lorain, city, Lorain county, northern Ohio, U.S. It is located on Lake Erie at the mouth of the Black River, about 5 miles (8 km) northwest of Elyria and 25 miles (40 km) west of Cleveland. Moravian missionaries camped briefly on the site in 1787, but the first permanent settler was Nathan Perry, from Vermont, who built a trading post there in 1807. First known as Black River, it was incorporated as the village of Charleston in 1836 and was renamed in 1874 for the county (which had taken its name from the province of Lorraine, France) when it was rechartered as a city. The coal and iron-ore trade was established with the completion in 1872 of what became the Cleveland, Lorain, and Wheeling Railroad (later part of the Baltimore and Ohio) and the opening of the Poe Lock at Sault Ste. Marie, Mich. (1896). Industrial development began after 1894, when a steel mill was built on the Black River. Lorain is now a major Midwest shipping centre handling coal, iron ore, and limestone. Industries include automobile and truck assembly and the manufacture of steel bars and tubes, power shovels, cranes, bearings, gypsum products, and clothing. Novelist and Nobel laureate Toni Morrison and textile artist Lenore Tawney are Lorain natives. Pop. (2000) city, 68,652; (2010) 64,097.
History
The City began as an unincorporated village established pre-1834 as “Black River Village”, but in 1837 (also per local-government records) the name was officially changed in 1837 to ‘Charleston’, (however, according to 19th-century historians, the name ‘Charleston’ was almost immediately rejected by its own citizens, who continued to utilize the former name, Black River Village until 1873). It was subsequently incorporated as a village under the name Lorain in 1874 and became a City in 1896. The first mayor of the City of Lorain is credited as Conrad Reid, beginning his term on April 6, 1874. The municipal boundaries incorporated the majority of the former Black River Township judicial boundaries, and portions of the Sheffield Township, Amherst Township, and Brownhelm Township judicial borders.
