Alliance: Stark County Home of the Mount Union Purple Raiders
Alliance sits in eastern Stark County along the Mahoning River. The city was formed in 1854 by the merger of three small settlements, Freedom, Liberty, and Williamsport, along the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and Chicago Railway. The name Alliance referred to the alliance of the three communities. Morgan Engineering Company, which built heavy overhead cranes and metallurgical equipment for the steel industry, was founded in Alliance in 1870 and remained a major employer into the twentieth century.
The University of Mount Union, a private Methodist-affiliated university founded in 1846, anchors the city's academic and civic identity. Mount Union enrolls about 2,200 students and is particularly known for its football program, which has won multiple NCAA Division III national championships. The university's athletics facilities include the Peterson Field House and Kehres Stadium.
The Alliance Carnation Festival, held each August, traces its origin to the scarlet carnation being designated Ohio's state flower by an act of the legislature in 1904. The designation was made in honor of William McKinley, who had worn a red carnation for luck throughout his political career. The festival has been held annually in Alliance since 1959.
