History

An early and probably very prominent settler was Joshua Dixon and his wife, Dinah. They settled in 1802 in Fairfield Township. Dixon was responsible for laying out the village of Columbiana on Aug. 21, 1805. Columbiana had a railroad and three stores by 1831. The Elementary school in the city is also named in his honor.


Columbiana was the birthplace of Harvey S. Firestone who would later found the famous Firestone rubber company in Akron, Ohio. There is still a Firestone tractor-tire test facility a few miles northeast of the city, and many town facilities are named after him. Columbiana is also known for the Shaker Woods Festival, held annually in August, which features some of the best crafters and artisans in the country. Another major town event is the Columbiana Street Fair, a civic festival hosted by the local American Legion and held in early September. Harvey Samuel Firestone was the founder of the Firestone Tire and Rubber Company, one of the first global makers of automobile tires and an important contributor to North American economic growth in the 20th century. ... The Firestone Tire and Rubber Company was founded by Harvey Firestone in 1900 to supply pneumatic tires for wagons, buggies, and other forms of wheeled transportation common in the era. ...
