A Brief History of Marion, Ohio
Marion's history can be traced back to the War of 1812, where Jacob Foos, a surveyor for General Harrison's Army, found a spring at the tip of a hill. This became known as "Jacob's Well." Not long after Foos' discovery, Marion County was officially recognized in 1824, being named in honor of General Francis Marion.
Marion: Ohio's Industry Leader
As time went on, Marion became a leader in industry, especially following the foundation of the Marion Steam Shovel Company (Marion Power Shovel) in 1884. By 1911, 80% of the nation's steam shovel and heavy duty equipment was made in Marion, Ohio. In fact, the Marion Steam Shovel Company was contracted and successfully built the Panama Canal during the 1960's, to link the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Also, NASA contracted with Power Shovel to create transporters to move the assembled Saturn V rockets, used in Project Apollo, to the launch pads. Currently, Marion is the nation's leader in corn and popcorn produced foods and the Whirlpool Corporation of Benton Harbor Michigan is the city's largest employer.
