How did Yellow Creek get its name? Unveiling the mystery

How did Yellow Creek get its name: “The yellow-colored sediment that erodes from its banks as it descends 400 feet in elevation from its headwaters to its outfall into the Cuyahoga River is the obvious answer to the above question,” Knopp answered.

The Akron landscape architect sent me with a 2021 Beacon Journal photo as proof, which amply demonstrated the yellowish mud that is evidently present when the stream rushes beneath a bridge on Bath’s Yellow Creek Road.

But Knopp thinks there’s another idea that’s far more intriguing. William Henry Perrin asserts in an 1881 history of Summit County that the local waterway was given its name as a tribute to a slaughter that took place at another Yellow Creek in April 1774.

A group of Mingo Indians, including some of Chief Logan’s kin, were slain by Virginia settlers beside a creek approximately 4 miles south of East Liverpool on the Ohio River.

How did Yellow Creek get its name?

In other words, that’s a far better story than “the creek looks like yellow mud,” as Knopp put it.

The mystery surrounding the odd sounds that was reported on Tuesday, Nov. 21 at around two in the morning remains unsolved.

It persisted for a few hours, according to residents of Green, New Franklin, Springfield Township, and Jackson Township, and they described it as a “whooshing” or “rumbling.”

No facility owned by Dominion East Ohio, Enbridge, or Akron-Canton Airport was the source of the sound, according to their representatives.

An Akron woman wrote about a different noise she’s heard periodically for decades after reading our report.

“Well, anybody who lives in Ellet or close to the airport on Triplett Boulevard has heard this loud noise, like a huge jet taking off, for over 40 years now.” Written by Jennifer Starnes. “I know the airport is used by smaller, private aircraft, but they can’t be the source of the noise! Does it originate with Goodyear? similar to a few of their Archwood facilities?

She answered, “I’ve checked with our airships team, and we don’t think any such noise would be originating from our facility.” “They recommended contacting the Fulton airport to inquire about their knowledge of the source.”

Thus, we got in touch with Summit Airport Services’ airport manager, Tony Plucinski. He believes he understands why.

In an email, Plucinski wrote, “I am confident that the noises they are hearing are the sounds of larger jet aircraft arriving or departing.”

The majority of people are ignorant of how frequently large corporations utilise our airport. Because of this and the runway’s unusual location—it essentially lies at the bottom of a “bowl”—some people could think they are hearing anything other than aeroplanes landing or taking off.

The statues were donated by the Akron property owner Cedarwood Development to Macedonia, which then handed them to the Nordonia Hills City School District. Given that the Knights are the team moniker at Nordonia High School, the $50,000 contribution felt fitting.
