history

The first settler in what is now Mogadore was Ariel Bradley . He was from Salisbury , Connecticut, and at the age of nine he had been a spy for the troops under George Washington in the American Revolutionary War . Bradley came to the Connecticut Western Reserve to look for suitable land. He found it in a small valley with great abundance of wood and a multitude of springs. Here he built a log home in 1807 on 59 acres of land that had cost him $ 335. The settlement emerging in this area was first called Bradleyville, but since 1825 the name changed to Mogadore.

In Mogadore was a station of the Akron, Canton and Youngstown Railroad , which was merged with the Norfolk and Western Railroad in 1964 . Many goods were loaded here, during the Second World War the General Tire tire company , now owned by Continental AG , used this station to transport tires made for military vehicles. The railway depot from 1900 was bought by the Mogadore Historical Society and rebuilt on its own property. Today the nearest railroad station is in Akron.
