A Tour of Akron, Ohio - Situated on the Little Cuyahoga River, the city of Akron, Ohio holds the nicknames "Rubber Capital" and "Tire City." Akron is the county seat of Summit County, and its population was estimated at around 212,215 as of 2003.

Akron was founded in 1870 by a man named Benjamin Franklin Goodrich. He established a plant that manufactured fire hose, but this was eventually transformed into a booming rubber tire business after automobiles came on the market. Many of the original tire plants of Akron have closed, but the city is still a center for researching and developing rubber products. It's also the home of the Spirit of Goodyear - the Goodyear company blimp.
