WARREN

city, seat (1800) of Warren county, northwestern Pennsylvania, U.S., on the Allegheny River near the mouth of the Conewango Creek, 21 miles (34 km) south of Jamestown, New York. Laid out in 1795, it was named for General Joseph Warren, who was killed at the Battle of Bunker Hill. A lumber boom in the mid-19th century was followed by an oil boom. Its economy now includes the manufacture of furniture, forestry equipment, electric and wire products, steel fabrications, and refined oil. Warren is the headquarters for Allegheny National Forest (hunting, fishing, and winter sports), and tourism is an added source of income. Kinzua Dam and Chapman State Park are nearby. Inc. 1832; city, 1989. Pop. (1990) 11,122; (1998 est.) 9,980. city, Trumbull county, northeastern Ohio, U.S. It lies along the Mahoning River and is part of the Youngstown metropolitan complex. Settled (1799) by Ephraim Quinby, a stockholder in the Connecticut Land Company, it was named for Moses Warren, a surveyor. Warren became the seat of the Western Reserve, and in 1803 it was made the county seat. After the completion (1840) of the Pennsylvania and Ohio Canal from Pittsburgh to Akron (there connecting with the Ohio and Erie Canal), Warren developed as an inland port. The city's prosperity grew with the discovery of coal in the Mahoning valley and the development of the local iron industry after 1870. Warren's proximity to Youngstown and the subsequent arrival of two transcontinental highways and the Ohio Turnpike were also stimulants to growth. The city's diversified industries now include automotive and basic steel production and the manufacture of industrial equipment and electrical products. The Trumbull Campus of Kent State University was founded in 1954. Packard Music Hall and the John Stark Edwards House (1807), the oldest dwelling in the Western Reserve, are in the city.

The county is almost entirely occupied by Adirondack Park (1892), which is one of the largest parks in the United States and the nation's first forest preserve. The region is heavily wooded with conifers such as pine, spruce, and fir. Iroquoian-speaking Mohawk Indians probably hunted in the region. The resort village of Lake George, the county seat, was the site of a battle (Sept. 8, 1755) during the French and Indian War and of Fort William Henry (1756-57), which has been reconstructed. In the 19th century the city of Glens Falls was successively a centre of lumbering, limestone processing, paper milling, and textile manufacturing. Other communities are Warrensburg and Lake Luzerne.

Recreational areas abound.

The village of Warren was incorporated in 1893; the city was created in 1955 through the consolidation of the village and township. Warren formerly encompassed Center Line, now an enclave, which seceded from the township in 1925.
