Niles, Ohio 44446 tour
Niles is a city in Trumbull County, Ohio, United States. The city's population was 19,266 at the 2010 census.[6][7] It is part of the Youngstown-Warren-Boardman, OH-PA Metropolitan Statistical Area.
Located in the nation's former industrial belt, the city's economy focused initially on iron manufacturing but later diversified to include steel and glass production.[6] Niles was adversely affected by the decline of the manufacturing sector throughout the northern United States in the 1970s. Since then, Niles has adapted to become a retail hub for the northern Mahoning Valley, with development centered around the Eastwood Mall complex.

The American Revolution Started in 1761 #shorts
The REAL #AmericanRevolution was years before the #DeclarationOfIndependence.
As John Adams noted, the "beginning of the controversy" between the colonies and Great Britain was in 1761 - with James Otis Jr and his speech against the Writs of Assistance.
This was the start of a “radical change” in the views of the people.

SW0115 Niles Weekly Register Presents First Published Draft of Seminole Wars History
The NWR was a general interest publication that included military news. A collection of just the Florida news comes from scholar David Fowler's five (!) volume Niles' Florida.
Niles' Florida provides a comprehensive analysis of the dramatic and, often times, violent history of Florida, beginning with the role it played in the War of 1812, moving through an in-depth view of the Seminole Indian wars, and culminating with the admission of Florida into the American Union. Niles' Florida contains numerous anecdotes and narratives on events that played a key role in the transition of a wild territory, as described by Andrew Jackson, to become 27th state in our American Union. Detailed information is available on the activities of the Seminole Indians, Africans, British, Spanish, and Americans....

Voices of Liberty: ”The Constituents of a Good Soldier” Sermon by Samuel Davies
"The Revolution was in the minds and hearts of the people, a change in their religious sentiments of their duties and obligations” - John Adams to Hezekiah Niles, 1818
Have you ever wondered what was being preached in the American colonies before the revolution? Given the outstanding role that "religious sentiments" played in the pre-war psyche, we certainly should be curious what the preaching was like. Today I read though a sermon preached by Rev. Samuel Davies, way back in 1755. This sermon was given to admonish a group of volunteer militia going to defend the western territories during the French and Indian War. Listen in and hear what he had to say! There are many points to consider that are fully as applicable today as in 1755.

Long Road Ahead: 3 Missing Ingredients for the Next Revolution
Facts. Getting from the largest government in history to a real “land of the free” isn’t going to be quick or easy. But without these three essential ingredients from the “real American Revolution,” we probably won’t get there at all.

Driving Around Small Town Niles, Michigan in 4k Video
Filmed on Monday, October 30 2023, I drive around Niles, MI to see what's going on.
Geographically, Niles is located on the St. Joseph River banks, marking the historical site of the French Fort St. Joseph, established in 1697. This fort's history is rich, having been under the control of France, Britain, Spain, and the United States, thus earning Niles the nickname "City of Four Flags."
The city is named after Hezekiah Niles, editor of the Niles Register in Baltimore. Its modern settlement traces back to 1827. Notably, between 1820 and 1865, Niles played a crucial role in the Underground Railroad, aiding slaves in their journey to freedom.

Nullify Chapter 23: A Revolution in Thought
Today’s nullification movement is revolutionary because it offers the hope of smashing the established political order. It gives us an alternative to “voting the bums out” which only results in new “bums” who violate the Constitution in more costly and dangerous ways each year. And it reminds us that we don’t need to rely on the federal government to limit its own power.

Niles is a city in Trumbull County, Ohio, United States. The city's population was 19,266 at the 2010 census.[6][7] It is part of the Youngstown-Warren-Boardman, OH-PA Metropolitan Statistical Area.
Located in the nation's former industrial belt, the city's economy focused initially on iron manufacturing but later diversified to include steel and glass production.[6] Niles was adversely affected by the decline of the manufacturing sector throughout the northern United States in the 1970s. Since then, Niles has adapted to become a retail hub for the northern Mahoning Valley, with development centered around the Eastwood Mall complex.
The Mahoning Valley Scrappers of Minor League Baseball play at Eastwood Field in Niles.
Niles was founded in 1806 by James Heaton, who owned one of the first iron-ore processing plants in Ohio. The town originally went by the name of Heaton's Furnace but was later renamed Nilestown, after Hezekiah Niles (editor of the Niles Register, a Baltimore newspaper). In 1843, the name was shortened to Niles. In the early 19th century, Heaton built a forge and, later, a charcoal blast furnace in the area just east of what is now the city's central park, on the west side of Mosquito Creek. Heaton is credited with producing the first bar iron in Ohio.[6]
Niles' iron industry thrived until the late 19th century, when the economic depression of 1873 brought about the closure of the community's largest industrial firm, James Ward and Company. Plans to restore the local iron industry floundered because of the exorbitant cost of modernizing outdated mills. By the early 1900s, however, Niles was the site of companies including Ohio Galvanizing, Sykes Metal, the Niles Glass Works of the General Electric Company, and the Niles Iron and Steel Roofing Company. Between 1900 and 1920, the city's population swelled from 7,468 to slightly over 13,000. The community's efforts to rebuild its industry suffered a temporary setback in the 1910s. Niles was one of many cities affected by statewide floods that struck in the spring of 1913. On Easter Sunday, March 23, 1913, heavy rain throughout Ohio, combined with ice and snow that was still on the ground, precipitated massive flooding.[6] Flooding of the Mahoning River left extensive damage and numerous casualties in Niles. Damage exceeded $3 million, and 428 people were confirmed dead.[6]
At the beginning of the 20th century, Niles was a sundown town, with "a sign near the Erie depot…warn[ing] 'niggers' that thet had better not 'let the sun set on their heads.'"[8]

The NWR was a general interest publication that included military news. A collection of just the Florida news comes from scholar David Fowler's five (!) volume Niles' Florida.
Niles' Florida provides a comprehensive analysis of the dramatic and, often times, violent history of Florida, beginning with the role it played in the War of 1812, moving through an in-depth view of the Seminole Indian wars, and culminating with the admission of Florida into the American Union. Niles' Florida contains numerous anecdotes and narratives on events that played a key role in the transition of a wild territory, as described by Andrew Jackson, to become 27th state in our American Union. Detailed information is available on the activities of the Seminole Indians, Africans, British, Spanish, and Americans. Living the experiences of Florida's birth through the eyes of the people who were there, is the best history lesson you may ever get.
This project began for David Fowler when he visited an Indian mount in Fort Walton Beach, Florida and picked up a pamphlet that referenced a Black Seminole called Abraham, sense keeper for Micanopy. He was intrigued by this Abraham and sought to find more; David had caught the research bug. In due time, he volunteered for a task of not only identifying but also republishing every single article or reference about Abraham as presented in the Niles Weekly Register. He expanded it to cover all of Florida history referenced in the Register, including great coverage of the long Seminole Wars.
In a series of volumes, David comprehensively traces and recovers what then-contemporary readers learned in real time about the progress of those regrettable conflicts. He combined his professions as a reporter, a librarian, and a historian to paint a unique picture of the birth and development of the Sunshine State. Its history unfolds like current events leading readers to turn the pages and discover even more.
David Fowler joins us to discuss the monumental undertaking.
Host Patrick Swan is a board member with the Seminole Wars Foundation. He is a combat veteran and of the U.S. Army, serving in Iraq,
Afghanistan, Kuwait, and Kosovo, and at the Pentagon after 9/11. A military historian, he holds masters degrees in Public History, Communication, and Homeland Security, and is a graduate of the US Army War College with an advanced degree in strategic studies. This podcast is recorded at the homestead of the Seminole Wars Foundation in Bushnell, Florida.

Niles, Ohio
Niles is a city in Trumbull County, Ohio, United States. The city's population was 19,266 at the 2010 census. It is part of the Youngstown-Warren-Boardman, OH-PA Metropolitan Statistical Area.
Located in the nation's former industrial belt, the city's economy focused initially on iron manufacturing but later diversified to include steel and glass production. Niles was adversely affected by the decline of the manufacturing sector throughout the northern United States in the 1970s.
Niles was founded in 1806 by James Heaton, who owned one of the first iron-ore processing plants in Ohio. The town originally went by the name of Heaton's Furnace but was later renamed Nilestown, after Hezekiah Niles (editor of the "Niles Register", a Baltimore newspaper). In 1843, the name was shortened to Niles. In the early 19th century, Heaton built a forge and, later, a charcoal blast furnace in the area just east of what is now the city's central park, on the west side of Mosquito Creek. Heaton is credited with producing the first bar iron in Ohio.
Niles' iron industry thrived until the late 19th century, when the economic depression of 1873 brought about the closure of the community's largest industrial firm, James Ward and Company. Plans to restore the local iron industry floundered because of the exorbitant cost of modernizing outdated mills.

Filmed on Monday, October 30 2023, I drive around Niles, MI to see what's going on.
Geographically, Niles is located on the St. Joseph River banks, marking the historical site of the French Fort St. Joseph, established in 1697. This fort's history is rich, having been under the control of France, Britain, Spain, and the United States, thus earning Niles the nickname "City of Four Flags."
The city is named after Hezekiah Niles, editor of the Niles Register in Baltimore. Its modern settlement traces back to 1827. Notably, between 1820 and 1865, Niles played a crucial role in the Underground Railroad, aiding slaves in their journey to freedom.
An architectural highlight of Niles is the Chapin Mansion, built by Henry A. Chapin, which has served as the city hall. Niles is also known for its vibrant cultural scene, centered around the Riverfront Park. This park, stretching along the St. Joseph River, is the venue for many city events like the Niles Riverfest, Bluegrass Festival, Hunter Ice Festival, and Apple Festival Parade. It also features a memorial, a public stage, a free skateboard park, playground, and volleyball courts.
The Indiana-Michigan River Valley Trail passes through Niles, offering scenic views of the St. Joseph River. Other parks in Niles include the Saint Joseph River Park, noted for archaeological significance with ongoing excavations revealing artifacts from Fort St. Joseph, and Island Park, situated on an island in the river.
In terms of urban development, Niles received a MEDC Community Development Block Grant in 2003, facilitating significant downtown improvements. The Jerry Tyler Airport, located at the city's edge, hosts the annual Fourth of July celebration.
Near Niles are the Fernwood Botanical Garden and Nature Preserve, Barron Lake, and the University of Notre Dame, just six miles south in South Bend, Indiana. Lastly, the city marks the northern end of the Indiana-Michigan River Valley Trail, linking it to Mishawaka and South Bend in Indiana.
