02 GOODYEAR HEIGHTS

Where the Heights began.

Akron’s rubber boom brought workers to the city faster than housing could be built. In 1912, Goodyear cofounder F. A. Seiberling bought farmland east of the company’s factories for a planned neighborhood. The first phase had its opening ceremony in 1913.
