YOUNGSTOWN 4K - Driving Downtown - OHIO
Youngstown is a city in the U.S. state of Ohio, and the largest city and county seat of Mahoning County. According to the 2020 United States Census, Youngstown had a city population of 60,068.[3] The Youngstown-Warren-Boardman, OH-PA Metropolitan Statistical Area, with a population of 541,243 is the 107th-largest metropolitan area in the United States.[6]
Youngstown is on the Mahoning River, approximately 58 miles (93 km) southeast of Cleveland and 61 miles (100 km) northwest of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. In addition to having its own media market, Youngstown is often classified as part of both Northeast Ohio and the Greater Pittsburgh Region due to these proximities. Youngstown is midway between Chicago and New York City via Interstate 80.
The city was named for John Young, an early settler from Whitestown, New York, who established the community's first sawmill and gristmill. Youngstown is called a midwestern city, but is less than 400 miles (640 km) from the Atlantic Ocean. It was an early industrial city of the late 19th and early 20th centuries; with restructuring of heavy industry and movement of jobs offshore, it has been classified as part of the Rust Belt. Traditionally known as a center of steel production, Youngstown has been forced to adapt after the steel industry in the United States fell into decline in the 1970s, leaving communities throughout the region without any major industry. There has been a decline in population of more than 60% since 1959. Youngstown falls within the Appalachian Ohio region, among the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains.
Downtown Youngstown has seen tremendous change since 2010. It has become a center of culture, entertainment, and innovation. It is now home to bars, restaurants, and the recently completed Youngstown Foundation Amphitheater. Youngstown's first new downtown hotel since 1974-the DoubleTree by Hilton-opened in 2018 in the historic Stambaugh Building, adapted for this use. First floor commercial space includes a restaurant.[7] Several businesses, such as Turning Technologies, an education technology company, are headquartered in Downtown Youngstown.
oungstown was named for New York native John Young, who surveyed the area in 1796 and settled there soon afterward.[8] On February 9, 1797, Young purchased the township of 15,560 acres (6,300 ha) from the Western Reserve Land Company for $16,085.[9] The 1797 establishment of Youngstown was officially recorded on August 19, 1802.[10]
The area that includes present-day Youngstown was part of the Connecticut Western Reserve, a section of the Northwest Territory that Connecticut initially did not cede to the Federal government.[11][12] Upon cession, Connecticut retained the title to the land in the Western Reserve, which it sold to the Connecticut Land Company for $1,200,000.[11][12][13] While many of the area's early settlers came from Connecticut, Youngstown attracted many Scots-Irish settlers from neighboring Pennsylvania.[14] The first European Americans to settle permanently in the area were Pittsburgh native James Hillman and wife Catherine Dougherty.[15] By 1798, Youngstown was the home of several families who were concentrated near where Mill Creek meets the Mahoning River.[16] Boardman Township was founded in 1798 by Elijah Boardman, a member of the Connecticut Land Company. Also founded in 1798 was Austintown by John McCollum who was a settler from New Jersey.[17]
As the Western Reserve's population grew, the need for administrative districts became apparent. In 1800, territorial governor Arthur St. Clair established Trumbull County (named in honor of Connecticut Governor Jonathan Trumbull), and designated the smaller settlement of Warren as its administrative center, or "county seat".[18] In 1813, Trumbull County was divided into townships, with Youngstown Township comprising much of what became Mahoning County.[19] The village of Youngstown was incorporated in 1848, and in 1867 Youngstown was chartered as a city. It became the county seat in 1876, when the administrative center of Mahoning County was moved from neighboring Canfield.[20] Youngstown has been Mahoning County's county seat to this day

Having a state university helps the city economy a good amount.

[@rls929]

Now, add good paying jobs in finance, insurance, banking and technology, to give students a reason to stay after graduation.

I’m from Youngstown, left in the 70s. Fond memories. Doesn’t look horrible at all to me. One tip for the creator: I think you should slow the car down a bit. It will be easier to take it all in plus makes things less dizzy.

[@TravelingBuffalo]

Wish there was narration....

[@walk-starweddings439]

Can I use some of this footage?

[@maximumdr]

Yes of course

[@amazing_walks]

I am considering to apply for the Youngstown State University for fall 2025. Can anyone give me some information about your personal expereince there? Especially the locals and internatinoal students.

[@TanvirMunna]

I have applied for Spring 24. But still insure

[@123gocrazypeople]

I went to YSU for a few years and it’s pretty nice, campus is fairly small so walking to different buildings for class isn’t entirely laborious. Another thing of note is that YSU also has their own police department and they will walk you to your car if you call. Also, I’ve had people come out and jumpstart my car (for free). Parking is a bit of an issue during the day and it can be really difficult to find a spot so I’d recommend getting there early in the morning. The BURSAR’s office is a bit of a joke, though, if you have any serious financial aid questions you’re better off asking to speak to someone older then 25. All in all, it’s a good school and tuition is fairly affordable (although you’re probably better off living off-campus if loans/scholarships don’t cover the cost of dorms as there are far cheaper housing options available). I hope that helps :)

[@amazing_walks]

@@123gocrazypeopleThank you so much. This helps a lot. I have looked up the housing prices, and it also shows that off-campus housing is much cheaper.

Is it a safe city? I am going on a business trip

The streets are a mess. This is a most unappealing video I've seen of a downtown of a city. Makes me to never want to visit my hometown again!

[@michellematlack1583]

Grew up there. It's a sad, empty, and ugly place. Drive away.

Really Is it nastier than Akron??
