Canton

Canton is an extremely small town located in Upstate, NY. As of the 2000 census, there were 5,882 people. Its population triples when the local universities are in session (Saint Lawrence University and the State University of New York at Canton). SUNY Canton is a two/four year college located in the western part of the village. Its entrance is accessible via NY RT 68. SUNY Canton is also home to the David Sullivan/St. Lawrence County Law Enforcement Academy that provides police training to local, county, state and federal agencies as well as new police officers in its 5-month police academy every spring. St. Lawrence University is a four year liberal arts college located in the eastern part of the village. Access to the college is via US RT 11. St. Lawrence University is home to several sports, including its famous NCAA Division I hockey team and several notable alumni. The first attempt at settlement was made in 1800, but the first permanent settlement occurred in 1801. The first post office used the name "New Cairo," but changed to Canton by 1807. The early economy was based on farming and lumbering. Not known for its "Nightlife" most people either go to Potsdam or Canada to find a good time.

north canton

city in northeast ohio with some of the richest, prettiest, preppiest people you'll ever meet. even the "ghetto" of north canton has nicer houses than the middle class area of most other cities. everyone from north canton loves their city but doesn't realize it until they leave and miss it. it's full of attractive people with nice clothes, cars, and houses. everyone knows everything about everyone else because the population is approximately 10 people. it's 99% white and 1% "other." everyone's fairly nice to each other and loves their sporting events, particularly football. don't bother looking for a north cantonian anywhere but north canton memorial field on a friday night, because they will most definitely be at a football game. north canton excels at EVERYTHING- sports, academics, and arts. probably the only good school left in northeast ohio that actually has all three bases covered. it was named a few years ago in some travel magazine "one of america's top 100 places to live." .. RIP hoover factory, we will forever miss you as we gaze at your gigantic smokestack you left behind.
