Portage County
Hi, I reverted your recent edit at Portage County, Ohio because the name does, in fact, come from the portage between the Cuyahoga and Tuscarawas rivers. They pass within about 8 miles of each other in what is today Summit County, while the Cuyahoga and Mahoning are much further away from each other. This comes from the 1885 History of Portage County, Ohio on page 196: "Portage County received its name from the fact that the old Indian Portage Path, between the Cuyahoga and Tuscarawas Rivers, was, originally, within its limits, though now in Summit County." Summit County was formed in 1840. --JonRidinger (talk) 03:19, 26 September 2013 (UTC)
