The History of Stow

The area now known as Stow was originally inhabited by a tribe of Seneca Native Americans until European settlers arrived in the early 1800s.

Stow Township was formally organized and became part of Portage County in the year 1808, and held its first election in 1811. It was part of Portage County until it was included in Summit County in 1840.
