Cuyahoga Falls, O., Summit co. So named
from the falls in the Cuyahoga River, on which
the place is situated, being about 40 miles S. of
Cleveland, and 128 N. E. from Columbus. This
place was laid out in 1837, and had so rapid a
growth that in 1840 it was the rival of Akron
for the county seat, from which it is 4 miles
distant. The Pennsylvania and Ohio Canal
passes through this place, and enters the Ohio
Canal at Akron. The falls afford an excellent
water power, which is already employed to op-
erate several large paper mills, flour mills, and
other manufactories ; and is available for further
application to a large extent.

The falls themselves present many wild and
romantic features for the admiration of the lov-
ers of nature. The Cuyahoga has a descent
here, in the course of a little more than 2 miles,
of about 200 feet, over stratified rocks, which,
for a portion of the distance, are worn away, or
were originally separated by some convulsion of
nature, into a chasm of nearly that depth. The
ravine thus formed, with the rapids and cas-
cades of the river passing through it, exhibits
many points of bold and picturesque scenery.
The Indian name for these falls was Coppacaw,
which signifies, it is said, shedding tears.
