Miner Spicer built the first cabin in the Akron, Ohio area in 1811. His cousin, Paul Williams was the first settler in the original town site of Akron and Paul, along with General Simon Perkins, were co-founders of Akron. An area of downtown Akron around the University was known as the Spicer Town area up untill the 1970s because Miner Spicer's 260 acre farm once occupied the land there.
