When we began On April 17, 1799, Ephriam Quinby and Richard Storer brought their families from the hills of Pennsylva- nia to settle on the banks of the Mahoning River. They named their new home Warren after Moses War- ren who had surveyed the land earli- er. One year later, on Iuly 10, 1800, Warren was designated the capital of the Western Reserve. And, in 1534, this growing community was charted as a village. Then, in 1869, population 4500, Warren became a city whose first mayor was I.N. Dawson. The Father of Warren is the first post- master and developer of the city, General Simon Perkins. Warren has been a city now for one hundred-thirteen years. Since 1869, Warren has definetly prospred and changed, but even among the newfangled buildings, the stoplights and paved streets, remainders of Warren's rich history are still stand- K, .,., . . ,. ...Aw ' ing strong. The Trumbull County Historical So- ciety has realized the importance of mainting Warren's history so the peo- ple of Warren today will be aware of the Warren of yesterday. The soci- ety's awareness inspired the restora- tion of the Iohn Stark Edwards Home built in 1871, and the Kinsman House built in the year 1832. The Log Cabin Schoolhouse on Mahoning Ave. and the Court House, which was built in 1835 and continues in its original pur- pose 127 years later, along with many homes lining the downtown area are all landmarks of Warren's heritage. The Iohn Stark Edwards Home, the Log Cabin Schoolhouse and the Sutliff Museum on the second floor of the Warren Public Library have been opened to the public as museums to display what the Warren citizens and the homes of the 19th Century were like. And this is when Warren began. . .,g, K- . Q, 1. J - ,V 6' 1' P :S -P - 5' - . l If. .1 T Q. . fue R Lg? 5?
