New Philadelphia is a city in the U.S. state of Ohio and is both the largest city in and county seat of Tuscarawas County.〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=2011-06-07 )〕 It is located south of Cleveland and northeast of Columbus on the Tuscarawas River. It was established in 1804. Because of the presence of coal and clay, early industry in the city centered on mining interests and the manufacturing of steel, canned goods, roofing tile, sewer pipe, bricks, vacuum cleaners, stovepipes, carriages, flour, brooms, and pressed, stamped, and enameled goods. The population was 17,288 at the 2010 census. New Philadelphia is adjacent to the city of Dover, which is almost the same size. It is one of the principal cities of the New Philadelphia–Dover, OH Micropolitan Statistical Area, which includes all of Tuscarawas County, and is part of the larger Cleveland–Akron–Canton, OH Combined Statistical Area. == History == The Moravian Church founded Schoenbrunn ("beautiful spring") in 1772 as a mission to the Delaware Indians. The settlement grew to include sixty dwellings and more than 300 inhabitants who drew up Ohio's first civil code and built its first Christian church and schoolhouse. Problems associated with the American Revolution prompted Schoenbrunn's closing in 1777.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=OHS - Places - Schoenbrunn Village )〕 The founder, John Knisely, returned to Ohio in 1804 with his family and 33 other pioneers, he also hired surveyor John Wells to plot out New Philadelphia in the same grid style as Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.〔VanFossen, Erin L., "New Philadelphia in Vintage Postcards," Arcadia Publishing, 2004, p. 21.〕 In 1833, New Philadelphia contained county buildings, a printing office, several stores, and five taverns. 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「New Philadelphia, Ohio」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
