Warren is a city in the U.S. state of Ohio and the county seat of Trumbull County.[4] The municipality is located in northeastern Ohio, approximately 14 miles (22 km) northwest of Youngstown and 15 miles (24 km) west of the Pennsylvania state line. The population was 46,832 at the 2000 census, but in 2005, the population was down to 45,796. It is part of the Youngstown-Warren-Boardman, OH-PA Metropolitan Statistical Area.
[edit] HistoryEphraim Quinby founded Warren in 1798, on 441 acres of land that he purchased from the Connecticut Land Company, as part of the Connecticut Western Reserve. Quinby named the town for the town's surveyor, Moses Warren. The town became the Trumbull County seat in 1801.[5] Warren had a population of nearly 1,600 people in 1846. In that same year the town had five churches, twenty stores, three newspaper offices, one bank, one woolen factory and two flourmills. In June 1846, a fire destroyed several buildings on one side of the town square, but residents soon replaced them with new stores and other businesses. Warren became an important center of trade for farmers living in the surrounding countryside during this period. During the latter decades of the nineteenth century and throughout the twentieth century, Warren remained an important trading and manufacturing center. By 1888, four railroads connected the community with other parts of Ohio. In that same year, there were five newspaper offices, seven churches, three banks and numerous manufacturing firms in Warren. The businesses manufactured a wide variety of products including linseed oil, furniture, barrel staves, wool fabric, blinds and carriages. Warren's population was 5,973 people in 1890. Warren continued to grow in the twentieth century. During the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, steel production was a major industry in the county because of large deposits of coal and iron ore in surrounding counties. In recent years, many Warren residents have worked in local service and retail sales businesses. In 2000, Warren was Trumbull County's most populated community, with 46,832 residents. The first 'flag cancel' machine was invented and installed in 1899 at the Warren Post Office.[6] [edit] GeographyWarren is located at 41°14′18″N 80°48′52″W / 41.23833°N 80.81444°W (41.238206, -80.814554)[7].

[edit] Notable natives[edit] Neil ArmstrongNeil Armstrong's father was a state auditor for Trumbull County and lived in several communities, including Warren, before the family settled in Wapakoneta. "Armstrong developed an interest in flying at age two when his father took him to the National Air Races in Cleveland. His interest intensified when he went for his first airplane ride in a Ford Tri-Motor, a "Tin Goose," in Warren at age six. From that time on, he claimed an intense fascination with aviation."[8] [edit] Other notable natives
