Welcome to Salem!It is a great place to live and work.

Getting around our historic city is a pleasant experience, with schools, stores, restaurants, and parks only a few minutes drive from anywhere in the city. Walking and bicycling are especially easy thanks to the flattening effects of a glacier that stopped just south of the city limits about 20,000 years ago.

Salem’s proximity to metropolitan areas provides an ideal blend of small-town life with access to big city amenities. Within 60 miles of Salem is Pittsburgh to the east and Cleveland to the northwest. Closer still are Youngstown, 25 miles to the north; Akron, 43 miles to the west; and Canton, 32 miles to the Southwest.

Salem’s HistoryThe story of Salem begins in 1803, the same year Ohio became a state. In that year, sturdy members of the Society of Friends (the Quakers) came west from Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia and New Jersey to settle in what is known today as Salem, Ohio.

One of the early settlers named Zadok Street left Salem, New Jersey, and upon arrival to the area, purchased a section of land and envisioned its possibilities as a town. Co-founder, John Straughan, (later shortened to Strawn), joined Street in plotting and naming the future community Salem which means “peace” in Hebrew.

Founded on April 30, 1806, many of Salem’s early residents placed great value on human life regardless of race or gender, thus immersing Salem into the abolition and women’s rights movements of the 19th century.

The Western Headquarters for the Anti-Slavery Association was in Salem. The association published and distributed The Anti-Slavery Bugle newspaper from here. Salem was also a stop on the Underground Railroad, which gave food and shelter to many fugitive slaves on their way to Canada and freedom. Many of the stately homes on Salem’s main streets served as “stations” with secret rooms and other hiding places to conceal runaway slaves until they could be moved safely along the network to freedom.

The Hicksite Meeting House was the site of the first women’s suffrage convention in Ohio. It was held on April 19 and 20, 1850, two years after the first women’s rights convention was held by another group of Quakers in Seneca Falls, New York. This location was chosen as the meeting place because of the many Quakers living here, all believers in liberty of conscience.

Following the Civil War, manufacturing grew in Salem. By the turn of the century, Deming Co. pumps, the W.H. Mullins Co.’s metal products, and Salem China Company’s dishware were building the company’s reputation as the source of well-made durable goods.

The history of Salem has been rich and varied. Another example of the progressiveness of the community is that Salem is the second city in the nation to install an electric trolley with overhead wires. Similar forward thinking is evident today in the innovative products made here, and in the high quality education and services available to residents.

The Salem Historical Society Museum and Freedom Hall at 208 South Broadway Avenue contains hundreds of special artifacts that document the city’s history since its founding in 1806.
