Welcome to Salem!It is a great place to live and work.

Getting around our historic city is a pleasant experience, with schools, stores, restaurants, and parks only a few minutes drive from anywhere in the city. Walking and bicycling are especially easy thanks to the flattening effects of a glacier that stopped just south of the city limits about 20,000 years ago.

Salem’s proximity to metropolitan areas provides an ideal blend of small-town life with access to big city amenities. Within 60 miles of Salem is Pittsburgh to the east and Cleveland to the northwest. Closer still are Youngstown, 25 miles to the north; Akron, 43 miles to the west; and Canton, 32 miles to the Southwest.

Salem’s HistoryThe story of Salem begins in 1803, the same year Ohio became a state. In that year, sturdy members of the Society of Friends (the Quakers) came west from Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia and New Jersey to settle in what is known today as Salem, Ohio.

One of the early settlers named Zadok Street left Salem, New Jersey, and upon arrival to the area, purchased a section of land and envisioned its possibilities as a town. Co-founder, John Straughan, (later shortened to Strawn), joined Street in plotting and naming the future community Salem which means “peace” in Hebrew.

Founded on April 30, 1806, many of Salem’s early residents placed great value on human life regardless of race or gender, thus immersing Salem into the abolition and women’s rights movements of the 19th century.

The Western Headquarters for the Anti-Slavery Association was in Salem. The association published and distributed The Anti-Slavery Bugle newspaper from here. Salem was also a stop on the Underground Railroad, which gave food and shelter to many fugitive slaves on their way to Canada and freedom. Many of the stately homes on Salem’s main streets served as “stations” with secret rooms and other hiding places to conceal runaway slaves until they could be moved safely along the network to freedom.

The Hicksite Meeting House was the site of the first women’s suffrage convention in Ohio. It was held on April 19 and 20, 1850, two years after the first women’s rights convention was held by another group of Quakers in Seneca Falls, New York. This location was chosen as the meeting place because of the many Quakers living here, all believers in liberty of conscience.

Following the Civil War, manufacturing grew in Salem. By the turn of the century, Deming Co. pumps, the W.H. Mullins Co.’s metal products, and Salem China Company’s dishware were building the company’s reputation as the source of well-made durable goods.

The history of Salem has been rich and varied. Another example of the progressiveness of the community is that Salem is the second city in the nation to install an electric trolley with overhead wires. Similar forward thinking is evident today in the innovative products made here, and in the high quality education and services available to residents.

Salem Historical Society “Freedom Hall”

www.salemohiochamber.org

Salem’s public school system includes three buildings for elementary school age children:

Buckeye School at 1200 Buckeye Avenue for kindergarten through second grade;Reilly School at 491 Reilly Avenue for grades three and four; and Southeast School at 2200 Merle Road for grades five and six.

The Salem Junior & Senior High School share the building at 1200 East Sixth Street. The facilities include up-to-date science labs, computer rooms, a wood shop, a metal shop, band and choir rooms, large gymnasium with weight room, and a recently renovated auditorium. In addition to honors classes, the Salem High School offers 13 Advanced Placement courses, the largest number of the rigorous, college credit courses provided by any high school in the Mahoning Valley.

St. Paul School at 925 East State Street has offered a Catholic faith-based education since 1904. The school currently enrolls students from pre-school through grade six. www.stpaulsalem.org

There are more than a dozen pre-schools and day care centers with various options to meet busy families’ needs.

The city has the good fortune to host two sites of the Kent State University. The first is a Salem regional campus: a picturesque, 100-acre campus at 2491 State Route 45, three miles south of the city. The second is the Kent State City Center at 230 North Lincoln Avenue near the center of downtown Salem. Several thousand students use the facilities each year in their pursuit of associate’s and bachelor’s degree programs. The recent multi-million dollar addition of a Health and Science wing at the Route 45 South building has centralized classrooms and labs for growth in the nursing, radiologic, and imaging sciences programs. www.salem.kent.edu
