North Canton, Ohio
North Canton is a city in Stark County, Ohio, United States. The population was 17,842 at the 2020 census, and was estimated at 17,677 in 2024. It is a suburb in the Canton–Massillon metropolitan area.
North Canton was established as the village of New Berlin in 1831. Residents were primarily of German descent. During World War I, it became unfashionable to be associated with German culture via namesakes, so in 1918, the community changed the name of the town to North Canton.
William H. "Boss" Hoover moved his tannery business from the family farm to the center of the New Berlin village in 1873. The first upright vacuum cleaner was invented in June 1908 in North Canton by department store janitor James M. Spangler. Hoover bought the patent, and The Hoover Company became the world's largest manufacturer of vacuum cleaners by the 1930s. In 2007, Hoover officially shut down its production facility in North Canton due to a financial incentive to outsource work.
The West Branch of Nimishillen Creek flows through the city.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 6.425 square miles (16.64 km2), all land.
According to realtor website Zillow, the average price of a home as of November 30, 2025, in North Canton is $277,559.
