A History of Jewish Youngstown and the Steel Valley

By: Thomas Welsh,Joshua Foster,Gordon F. Morgan,The Mahoning Valley Historical Society

Founded in the Mahoning Valley during 1837, a tiny settlement of secular German immigrants grew into one of the most influential centers of Jewish life in the Midwest. Home to nationally renowned rabbis and Zionist firebrands alike, the community produced an astonishing array of leaders in an impressive range of fields throughout the twentieth century. This notable legacy ranges from the entertainment juggernaut of Warner Brothers to the Arby's fast-food empire and the prominent Youngstown Sheet & Tube, among many others. Authors Thomas Welsh, Joshua Foster and Gordon F. Morgan trace the unique history of one of Ohio's oldest Jewish communities from its humble beginnings into the challenging climate of the new millennium.

Irish in Youngstown and the Greater Mahoning Valley

By: The Irish American Archival Society

In 1796, Daniel Shehy of Tipperary was the first Irish man to settle in Youngstown. In the early nineteenth century, the Ulster Irish moved into the region. Later, massive waves of Irish refugees from the Potato Famine settled in the area and filled the labor needs of the steel mills, canals, and railroads. Irish in Youngstown and the Greater Mahoning Valley recounts the history of the first Irish immigrants to settle the Valley up to the present and their prominent roles in community politics, arts, business, sports, entertainment, and religion. Through vintage images of families, church leaders, business owners, politicians, Irish dancers, and philanthropists, this book celebrates the influence of the Irish on the Greater Mahoning Valley.

Lost Idora Park

By: James M. Amey and Toni L. Amey of The Idora Park Experience

Idora Park opened on May 30, 1899, as Terminal Park, a picnic area at the final trolley stop on the south side of Youngstown, Ohio. The name was changed to Idora Park on November 25, 1899. Initial features and attractions included a Dentzel carousel with stationary animals, a casino stage, a bandstand, swings, picnic tables, drinking fountains, and toilet facilities. People flocked to the new park, jamming streetcars to capacity. On August 27, 1899, twenty thousand people crowded into the park. The trolley tracks had to be doubled in number, and many more streetcars were added. On Independence Day, 1901, thirty thousand people came to see the fireworks display. Idora Park needed to expand in order to accommodate these huge crowds. And expand it did. By 1915, the park had doubled in size. On April 26, 1984, it all came crashing down. Fire destroyed the two premier rides and half of one midway. Idora Park did not recover, and 1984 was its final year.

Struthers Revisited

By: Patricia Ringos Beach in association with the Struthers Historical Society

What more is there to say about Struthers that was not said in Images of America: Struthers, published in 2008? It turns out there is plenty. Images of America: Struthers Revisited features the people and places that filled this northeastern Ohio town in the 1900s. Through the growth and decline of the steel industry, the town prospered and adapted. Children grew up, marriages occurred, and people died; however, as anyone affiliated with Struthers knows, they could not be buried in the "city without a cemetery." This collection of images illustrates stories of accomplishment, struggle, and everyday life. Photographs of schools, churches, small grocery stores, businesses, eateries, parks, and playgrounds will transport readers to a time that is both familiar and historical. This walk down memory lane is for all ages. It is for those who reside in Struthers and those who used to live there and love to visit.
