Bucyrus (〔http://scrippsjschool.org/pronunciation/〕 ) is a city in the U.S. state of Ohio and the county seat of Crawford County,〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=2011-06-07 )〕 located in northern Ohio approximately 28 miles (45 km) west of Mansfield. The population was 12,362 at the 2010 census. The city is the largest in Crawford County, and the center of the Bucyrus Micropolitan Statistical Area (as defined by the United States Census Bureau in 2003). ==History== The name Bucyrus is derived from “Beautiful” and “Cyrus the Great", King of Persia by Col. James Kilbourne, who platted the community, according to James Croneis, former editor of the newspaper ''Bucyrus Telegraph-Forum''. It was laid out in 1822. The Bucyrus Foundry and Manufacturing Company, a predecessor to Bucyrus International, Inc. was founded in Bucyrus in 1880. The company moved to Wisconsin in 1893.〔http://www.bucyrus.com/pdf/Bucyrus_Timeline.pdf〕 Bucyrus was once home to The Dostal Bros. Brewery. Founded in the early 1900s, The Dostal Bros. Brewery was run by John M. and George A. Dostal.〔(Internet Archive ), pages 683-684.〕 The Lincoln Highway, later US Route 30, was routed through the city along Mansfield Street in 1913; in 1971 a modern limited access bypass was built to the north but the associated freeway links to the east and west of Bucyrus, replacing the old two-lane Lincoln Highway route, were not completed until 2005, nearly 35 years after they were first proposed. On March 10, 2007, Bucyrus was featured as the town of the week on the nationally syndicated Public Radio International program, ''Whad'Ya Know?''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bucyrus, Ohio」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
