    What You Should Know About Kent, OH

    Kent is situated in Portage County, OH, and is the county's largest city with a population of 28,215 (2020 U.S. Census). Early settlers were drawn to the area by the Cuyahoga River, and in 1805, John Haymaker built a gristmill in what was then Franklin Township. The city was renamed Kent in 1864 after Marvin Kent, who helped bring the railroad to town.

    Known as "Tree City" for its lush landscaping (thanks to John Davey), Kent's identity shifted in 1910 with the founding of Kent State University. Today, Kent is famous for its college campus, vibrant student culture, and blend of small-town atmosphere and academic vitality.
