About this city
Medina is a charming, beautifully preserved historic county seat positioned flatly atop the rolling agricultural hills of northeastern Ohio, forming a premier southwestern stronghold of the Cleveland metropolitan area. Laid out meticulously in 1818 by pioneering New England settlers, the town expanded rapidly during the late 19th century into a dominant center for apiary science and candle production, famously home to the A.I. Root Company. Today, Medina proudly maintains a romantic, brilliantly vibrant and upscale red-brick Victorian downtown commercial core that acts as a living history museum.
