` ::I would definitely support a more chronological approach to the history broken into eras or general periods.  That's what I've done in writing history sections at Kent State University, Kent, Ohio, and Theodore Roosevelt High School (Kent, Ohio).  Even in a section where something is prominent doesn't mean the section only talks about that.  For instance, a section on the rubber industry could be ``Rubber era`` or something like it since it dominated much of Akron's history through the first half of the 20th century.  That doesn't mean nothing else can be mentioned in that section.  I have also proposed previously that a History of Akron, Ohio article be created which would make the history section here even more of a summary.  I would wait, however, until this rewrite happens and we see how large the section gets with relevant and notable history.  The key is including events that actually shaped Akron or affected the country rather than events that simply happened in Akron (which is why I don't really like the inclusion of the George trial...it simply happened in Akron; there's no evidence it affected Akron much at all even during the trial).  From my study of Akron history, you generally have the canal era which led to the rise of industry due to ease of transport.  That generally leads to the development of the rubber industry and the start of the Rubber era, which also included other advances by the companies as well as others.  This is also where the founding of the University of Akron (as Buchtel College) would be mentioned.  That is followed by the departure of many of the rubber companies and the decline of manufacturing beginning in the 1960s.  The more recent history includes the development of Akron as a polymer research center (the city and the University), some of the downtown and university development, the JEDDs as Beirne mentioned, as well as the effort to keep Goodyear headquartered in Akron among others.  I'd be weary of using ``resurgence`` because the city continues to lose population, so it's more of a POV term.    `
