Welcome to Salem! - Salem Area Chamber of Commerce

Welcome to Salem!
It is a great place to live and work.
Getting around our historic city is a
pleasant experience, with schools, stores,
restaurants, and parks only a few minutes
drive from anywhere in the city. Walking
and bicycling are especially easy thanks
to the flattening effects of a glacier that
stopped just south of the city limits about
20,000 years ago.

Salem’s History
The story of Salem begins in 1803, the
same year Ohio became a state. In that
year, sturdy members of the Society of
Friends (the Quakers) came west from
Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia and New
Jersey to settle in what is known today as
Salem, Ohio.
One of the early settlers named Zadok
Street left Salem, New Jersey, and upon
arrival to the area, purchased a section of
land and envisioned its possibilities as a
town. Co-founder, John Straughan, (later
shortened to Strawn), joined Street in
plotting and naming the future community
Salem which means “peace” in Hebrew.
Founded on April 30, 1806, many of
Salem’s early residents placed great value
on human life regardless of race or gender,
thus immersing Salem into the abolition
and women’s rights movements of the 19th
century.
The Western Headquarters for the AntiSlavery Association was in Salem. The
association published and distributed The
Anti-Slavery Bugle newspaper from here.
Salem was also a stop on the Underground
Railroad, which gave food and shelter
to many fugitive slaves on their way to
Canada and freedom. Many of the stately
homes on Salem’s main streets served as
“stations” with secret rooms and other
hiding places to conceal runaway slaves
until they could be moved safely along the
network to freedom.
The Hicksite Meeting House was the site
of the first women’s suffrage convention in
Ohio. It was held on April 19 and 20, 1850,
two years after the first women’s rights
convention was held by another group of
Quakers in Seneca Falls, New York. This
location was chosen as the meeting place
because of the many Quakers living here,
all believers in liberty of conscience.
Following the Civil War, manufacturing
grew in Salem. By the turn of the century,
Deming Co. pumps, the W.H. Mullins
Co.’s metal products, and Salem China
Company’s dishware were building the
company’s reputation as the source of wellmade durable goods.
The history of Salem has been rich
and varied. Another example of the
progressiveness of the community is that
Salem is the second city in the nation to
install an electric trolley with overhead
wires. Similar forward thinking is evident
today in the innovative products made
here, and in the high quality education and
services available to residents.
