Youngstown is a city in Ohio, United States. It is the county seat of Mahoning County.[7] Part of Youngstown is also in Trumbull County.[8] The town is on the Mahoning River. It is about 65 miles (105 km) southeast of Cleveland and 61 miles (100 km) northwest of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Youngstown has its own metropolitan area; it is often thought of as part of the Pittsburgh Tri-State area and Greater Cleveland.[9] Youngstown is 10 miles (16 km) west of the Pennsylvania state line. It is midway between New York City and Chicago via Interstate 80.
The city was named for John Young. He was an early settler from Whitestown, New York, who started the town's first sawmill and gristmill.[10] Youngstown is in an area of the United States that is often called the Rust Belt. The town was known as a center of steel making. Youngstown was forced to change itself when the U.S. steel industry fell into decline in the 1970s. Towns in the area did not have a lot of business after that.[11] Youngstown also falls within the Appalachian Ohio region, among the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. The 2020 census showed that Youngstown had a total population of 60,068,[5] making it Ohio's 11th largest city. The city has had a decline of over 60% of its population since 1960.
According to the 2020 Census, the Youngstown–Warren Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) contains 430,591 people and includes Mahoning and Trumbull counties in Ohio.[12] The combined statistical area (also including Columbiana County) has 532,468 residents.[12] The area is called the Mahoning Valley or Steel Valley.
