Portage County, Ohio
Northeast Ohio is home to Portage County. Kent State University is here, which is a big part of the local culture and economy. Ravenna is the county seat with lots of surrounding lakes.
The county’s name comes from an old Native American path between the Cuyahoga and Tuscarawas rivers. You’ll find a mix of rural and suburban areas.
Portage County has seen steady growth over the years. Many residents commute to Akron or Cleveland for work. The Cuyahoga River winds through the county. It’s popular for canoeing and kayaking.

You’ll spot a balanced blend of land uses from the sky. Kent pops out as the urban core, but forest, field, and water all share space. Pippen Lake and West Branch Reservoir give the image a watery look. Though scattered development exists, it’s never overwhelming.
