Businesses opening and closing

How many workplaces with employees opened and closed each year since 1978, how many people applied to start a business, and how many businesses run with no employees at all.

workplaces opened in 2023: 341; 292 closed

How Medina County began

Medina County was carved out of Portage County by the Ohio General Assembly on February 18, 1812, and formally organized in April 1818, out of the Connecticut Western Reserve -- the strip of northeastern Ohio that Connecticut kept for itself when it ceded its other Revolutionary War-era land claims to the young United States and then sold to the Connecticut Land Company in 1795. Its seat and namesake, Medina, was laid out under the working name "Mecca" by proprietor Elijah Boardman before a conflict with an existing Mecca Township forced a change to Medina, after the Arabian city where Muhammad is buried; Boardman deeded the public square to the county on November 30, 1818 to secure the county-seat designation. Because the county lies entirely west of the Cuyahoga River, it fell outside the 1795 Treaty of Greenville cession and stayed legally closed to settlement for another decade, opening only after the 1805 Treaty of Fort Industry pushed the Indian-land boundary west; the first recorded settlers, arriving in Liverpool and Harrisville townships in 1811, met Native people from the Ohio Wyandot, Ottawa, Chippewa, Munsee/Delaware, Shawnee and Potawatomi nations who signed that treaty, including Potawatomi who continued to hunt in the Rocky River lowlands after white settlement began. Settled overwhelmingly by Yankee families from Connecticut, the county grew into a farming and small-manufacturing county -- salt, later oil, at Liverpool; the A.I. Root beekeeping-supply company and, briefly, strike-anywhere matches in Wadsworth -- and today anchors the southwestern edge of Greater Cleveland.

Medina has been the county seat since the county's 1818 organization; Elijah Boardman deeded the public square to the county on November 30, 1818 specifically to secure that status. The village, incorporated in 1835, survived two major downtown fires (1848 and 1870) that each leveled most of its business district, then rebuilt around Medina Square under banker and former mayor Harrison Gray Blake's supervision in a Victorian style over roughly the following decade; it chartered as a city on May 6, 1952. The 1970 Medina County Courthouse on Public Square, listed on the National Register of Historic Places July 16, 1970, anchors a Square that is itself a recognized nine-block historic district.

Almost every day here is a measurement: 98% of them come from a rain gauge standing inside Medina County itself.

48,727 days of records, 1893-01-01 to 2026-10-29. Source: NOAA NCEI GHCN-Daily, 3,240 gauges in and around Ohio. A day is "gauged" when a gauge standing inside the boundary reported it, and the value is the mean of those gauges. Otherwise it is interpolated by inverse distance from every gauge reporting within 50 miles. Nothing is carried forward, back-filled or smoothed. Against NOAA nClimDiv county monthly precipitation over 136,848 complete county-months (checked 2026-10-31): correlation 0.9515, median absolute difference 0.217 in a month. Built 2026-10-31 from the Cracked Buckeye precipitation archive. Snow is the softer number — snowfall is measured by hand with a ruler, no agency publishes a gridded county snowfall series, and blowing snow defeats every observer.
