Niles, Ohio, in 1882 was a river town on the Mahoning, a few miles northwest of Youngstown, where the valley's coal, iron, and early steelmaking drew workers and capital into the surrounding mills and shops. Its population had grown with the mining and manufacturing that followed the region's railroads, and the town's streets, churches, and commercial blocks reflected a community that was expanding faster than many older Ohio towns. Niles was also the boyhood home of William McKinley, who had grown up there before his years in Canton and Congress, so local residents already claimed him as a hometown son. The town's streets and buildings shown here would have been familiar to people who worked in the valley's industries and to those who had watched the community change through the decades before.

| Notes | An original bird's-eye view map of Niles, Ohio, drawn in 1882. Bird's-eye view maps were drawn by travelling artists who walked a town street by street, sketching every building from an imagined vantage point in the air, then sold the finished lithograph door to door by subscription. Roughly five thousand American towns were recorded this way between the 1860s and the 1920s, and for many of them the panoramic map is the most complete picture of the place that survives. Reproduced from the original in the Library of Congress collections. Printed to order on archival paper. Free shipping on all US orders. |
