Warren is a city in northeastern Ohio, north of Youngstown. It is the seat of Trumbull County. The population is around 40,000.
Warren began as the center of the Connecticut Western Reserve, being founded in 1798. The city began growing when the Pennsylvania & Ohio Canal was completed through the community in 1838. Later, the Cleveland & Mahoning Railroad serviced Warren beginning in 1856.
Industry in Warren took off in the late 1800s. The Packard Electric Company produced incandescent light bulbs. The Packard brothers also began the Packard Motor Car Company, which later moved to Detroit. The steel industry proved to be the biggest in Warren, due to the deposits of coal and iron ore in the surrounding area to
Today, Warren is a typical Rust Belt town. Industry left after World War II. Retail moved to the suburbs, adding to the decline in the Downtown area. In recent years, Warren has seen some vitality come back to the Downtown area.
