History

Akron was originally named Newark by settlers from Newark, Ohio; the name was changed to Akron in 1855, for the Ohio city. It was founded by Dr. Joseph Sippy on July 4, 1836 when he brought a group of settlers to what was then the crossing of the Pottawatomie and Miami Indian trails. The first building was constructed where the Methodist church stands now. Dr. Sippy’s house, which once stood across the street from Viking Foods, was a stop on the Underground Railroad.
