MASSILLON, a town in the county of Stark, state of Ohio, North America, on the left bank of the Tuscarawas River, which is here crossed by a handsome stone bridge, 112 miles N.E. of Columbus. The town is regularly and substantially built, and contains many fine stone edifices. The neighbourhood of Massillon is a rich agricultural district; and the town is, in consequence, a great emporium for the produce. The manufactures are also considerable; and iron-ware and flour are the chief products.
The annual value of the exports and imports is calculated to amount to above £1,000,000. Pop. (1853) 4000.
