Cuyahoga Falls: Rapids on the River North of Akron
Cuyahoga Falls takes its name from the whitewater rapids and cascades in the Cuyahoga River that drop roughly 220 feet through a narrow gorge on the city's eastern edge. Water power from the falls drove paper mills, woolen mills, and machine shops through the nineteenth century. The river was dammed at several points for hydropower, and portions of the gorge remained inaccessible to the public until the removal of the Gorge Dam began in the early 2020s.
The city was settled in 1812 by pioneers from New England and incorporated in 1836. It sits in Summit County directly north of Akron, with the river forming much of the eastern boundary. Blossom Music Center, the summer home of the Cleveland Orchestra, is located nearby in the Cuyahoga Valley, and the city shares the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad corridor that runs through the national park to the north.
Front Street downtown was reconfigured in the late 1990s to restore two-way automobile traffic after decades as a pedestrian mall, and the change coincided with a redevelopment that brought new restaurants and storefronts to the district. The Sheraton Suites hotel occupies a converted 1872 cotton mill on the river. Water Works Park, on the site of the former municipal water plant, preserves the early industrial landscape along the river.
