Calyco: Calyco (C.A.L.Y.C.O.) is an acronym created in 2013 to describe the Greater Cleveland-Akron-Lorain-Youngstown-Canton, Ohio metropolitan agglomeration in Northeastern Ohio. This region is comprised of over 4 million inhabitants and has long been established as an important national hub of multiple heavy industries including steel production, automotive manufacturing, tire production, shipbuilding and agricultural processing. The region is home to the former Western Reserve of Connecticut which exists north of the 41st parallel and spans from Ohio's eastern border with Pennsylvania to the western boundaries of Erie and Huron Counties in Ohio. The area has also served as a vital transportation and logistical hub since the industrial revolution due to its' centralized location and proximity to larger metropolitan areas in the Northeastern United States and Canada including New York City, Toronto, Chicago, Philadelphia and Detroit. The historical growth of the region has been highly tied to multiple bodies of water in the area that allowed industry to flourish including Lake Erie, the Cuyahoga River, the Mahoning River, the Tuscarawas River, the Black River, the Grand River and the Ohio and Erie Canal. The term C.A.L.Y.C.O was created as an acronym in 2013 by Michael A. Rejkowski, a 39 year old native of the region originally from Concord Township, Ohio in Lake County who now resides in Akron.
