Akron, New York
Akron is a village in Erie County, New York, United States. As of the 2020 census, Akron had a population of 2,888. The name derives from the Greek word ἄκρον signifying a summit or high point. It is part of the Buffalo-Niagara Falls metropolitan area. Akron is located in the town of Newstead on the west and north slopes of a hill. NY 93 passes through the village.
The village was developed after land was purchased from local Native Americans. The site of the village was first settled circa 1829, centered on Akron Falls, which provided water power. Akron became an incorporated village in 1849. The village absorbed the community of Fallkirk in its growth. In 1880, the population of Akron was about 1,050. It was then an important cement-producing center, due to local deposits of gypsum. Besides production of cement, the village also produced cigars.
