Local historian Richard Haldi presents the history of a time in Stark County before the railroads arrived in the early 1850s, when stagecoaches were used for both mail delivery and people transport. Canton was at one time serviced by seven separate stagecoach companies.  Over 25 Stark communities were formed around the location of a stagecoach inn.
