I love how Hilliards is marked on the map. As if that's important. (It's not.)

To be fair, has there ever been an important location in Ohio? It ain't like people are flying to Coshocton to discuss international trade

Not anymore, anyway. They used to.

The rivers and canals were a major source of trade

Coshocton used to have a lot of high profile, yet background industry:

Raw circuit board used up to the 80 in the USA was probably made there. Corrugate linerboard for boxes was made there (with a second mill that looks to be a recycle mill but I can't find info on.) Things like coca-cola trays were made there, along with the industry that birthed it. If you had a paperback school annual in the 80s it was probably printed there. Ductile iron, locally pre-cast concrete, all kind of advertising material like calendars, pens, etc., food-grade additives...

Place used to be a hotbed of industry and attracted just as much attention as Youngstown, except you didn't hear about this one.
