The orange tinted night sky of blast furnaces has gone forever, but the city is no longer looking back on what it used to be, and is today looking forward to what it can be.
Youngstown is literally tearing down its past ties through demolition of abandoned buildings, making room for the future. The downtown area that once drew crowds to theaters and shopping is now being renovated with new construction. Youngstown is making bold attempts to shed its image as a "rust belt" city and today it is well on its way at becoming a vibrant city with demonstrable pride showing in its citizenship. Forest Raffel was the food guy, and his brother Leroy the businessman.
They originally wanted to call their roast beef shop Big Tex , but when it came time to make things official, they found that name was already taken. They did keep the original cowboy hat in their logo they planned on using for the Big Tex name.
The original sandwich used thinly sliced roast beef placed on a Schwebel bun another business formed in Youngstown back in That original store 1 is still there but today it is a bird seed store. Youngstown was named for New York native John Young, who surveyed the area in and settled there soon after and the city was incorporated in Iron ore and coal deposits had been discovered near Youngstown, and an early iron industry flourished and in Daniel and James Heaton built the Hopewell Furnace.
By , Youngstown's population had begun to grow along with industrialization and the opening of the Pennsylvania and Ohio Canal. This canal connected to the Ohio and Erie Canal and although the canal was abandoned in like many of Ohio's canal systems, it played an important role in getting products to market. As railroads became more economically feasible, they also attracted more people and industries to Youngstown.
In the canal was officially closed and the property sold mostly to the railroad. This secured Youngstown as a viable metro area and by the city's population had grown to over 33, Like numerous areas in Ohio, iron was being produced where raw materials and fuel were plentiful. With the invention of steel, many of those areas failed for the lack of materials required to make the stronger metal. Youngstown was fortunate in that it had all of those ingredients.
The first steel company was established in the Mahoning Valley, changing Youngstown industry from iron to steel which was the forerunner of miles of steel plants in the valley. By the s, Youngstown was second only to Pittsburgh in terms of total steel production in the United States. At the same time, the industry faced difficult challenges. After the closing of the canal, the city no longer had access to water transportation. In addition, there was a shortage of water for use in the mills.
In spite of these problems, the city continued to grow.
