Massillon: Tiger Football in Paul Brown's Hometown
Massillon sits on the Tuscarawas River in Stark County about 8 miles west of Canton. The city was founded in 1826 by James Duncan and named for Jean-Baptiste Massillon, the French bishop and preacher. Massillon grew as a canal town along the Ohio and Erie Canal and later as an industrial center for steel, ceramics, and locomotive parts.
Paul Brown, the football coach who founded the Cleveland Browns and later the Cincinnati Bengals, was raised in Massillon and coached at Washington High School from 1932 to 1940. His teams won six state championships during that period, and the stadium where Washington plays its home games is named Paul Brown Tiger Stadium in his honor. The McKinley-Massillon rivalry, played between Canton McKinley and Massillon Washington high schools annually since 1894, is considered one of the oldest and most storied rivalries in American high school football.
The Massillon Museum, located in the former Gift Building on Lincoln Way downtown, preserves local history and art collections and has expanded into adjacent buildings. Duncan Plaza and the central business district along Lincoln Way include a mix of nineteenth and early twentieth-century commercial buildings. The Ohio Society of Military History also maintains a collection of artifacts in the city.
