Stow, Residential city in Summit County, Ohio, United States
Stow extends across 17.32 square miles of land, incorporating residential neighborhoods, commercial districts, and multiple recreational parks within the Akron metropolitan area.
Joshua Stow, a Connecticut land surveyor, purchased the 25-square-mile township for 14,154 dollars during the development of the Connecticut Western Reserve in 1796.
The city organizes community events throughout the year, including the Summer Sunset Blast celebration and multiple public art projects coordinated by the Stow Arts Commission.
The city connects to three major transportation routes: Ohio State Route 8, Ohio State Route 59, and Ohio State Route 91, with bus services from regional transit authorities.
The Water Works Family Aquatic Center and Fox Den Golf Course provide year-round recreational facilities for residents of Summit County and surrounding areas.
