Kent is a city in Portage County, Ohio, known primarily as the home of Kent State University, one of Ohio's largest public universities. The city's development has been closely tied to the growth of the university since its founding in 1910.
Originally known as Franklin Mills, the city was an important stop on the Underground Railroad and later became a significant industrial center during the 1800s due to its location along the Cuyahoga River. Today, Kent combines its educational heritage with a vibrant downtown area that features historic architecture, cultural venues, and local businesses.
The city gained national attention in 1970 due to the Kent State shootings, an event that significantly impacted American history and civil rights discourse. Kent's cultural scene is enriched by university-affiliated venues like the Kent State University Museum, which houses significant fashion and decorative arts collections, and various galleries and performance spaces that contribute to the city's artistic community.
