Is Dayton named for a traitor? Why did Cleveland shave a letter off the name of its founder? What made the Roman dictator Cincinnatus worthy of an American city? We look at the origins of the names of Ohio's eight big cities, including Columbus, Toledo, Parma, Canton and Akron. Lots of history and mystery in their stories! www.ohiomysteries.com feedback@ohiomysteries.com www.patreon.com/ohiomysteries www.twitter.com/mysteriesohio www.facebook.com/ohiomysteries Additional music: New Horizon - Aderin; Audionautix- The Great Unknown; The Great Phospher- Daniel Birch Learn more about your ad choices.
