Biohazard and Crime Scene Remediation in Kinsman Center, OH

Kinsman Center, also known simply as Kinsman, is an unincorporated community and census-designated place in Kinsman Township, Trumbull County, Ohio - it is not an incorporated village, so it has no mayor or village government of its own.

The community is named for John Kinsman of Lisbon, Connecticut, who bought the township's 16,664 acres from the Connecticut Land Company in 1799 for $12,903.23.

John Kinsman first rode out on horseback in 1799 alongside Simon Perkins to survey the land, and he returned with his family in 1804; within a year, about 50 families had settled in the township.

Famed trial lawyer Clarence Darrow grew up partly in Kinsman, in an 1838 octagon house that local tradition also links to the Underground Railroad.

Hymn composers Philip P. Bliss and James McGrannahan served as musical directors for evangelist Dwight L. Moody's revival meetings, which were held in Kinsman for some thirty years in the late 1800s.

Kinsman Center had 574 residents at the 2020 census, down from 616 in 2010, when the community counted about 252 occupied households.

Census figures give Kinsman Center an unusually old population, with a median resident age of about 60 years.

The community keeps its New England character around Kinsman Square, is served by the Kinsman Free Public Library under ZIP code 44428, and lies in rural northern Trumbull County within the Youngstown-Warren metropolitan area.
