William McKinley was born in Niles in 1843. His family's house stood on South Main Street, where a historical marker now stands at number 36. That house was later moved from the site and was lost to fire. The McKinleys stayed in Niles until 1852. Then they moved to Poland, Ohio, so William could attend the Poland Seminary. When the Civil War came, he joined the 23rd Ohio Volunteer Infantry and rose to major. After the war he settled in Canton and practiced law. He went to Congress in 1876. He was one of seven native Ohioans to serve as president of the United States.
The McKinley Memorial on North Main Street
The McKinley Memorial stands at 40 North Main Street, a short way up the street from the birthplace marker. The National Register of Historic Places listed it in 1975. To find both spots on the map, look near the middle of the sheet, where Robbins Avenue is printed just left of the creek. North Main Street runs up from there, and South Main Street runs down toward South Niles. Those downtown blocks started with James Heaton. He platted 54 lots there in 1834 and named the settlement Nilestown. His own marker at 1 South Main Street says he built a log cabin on Vienna Avenue in 1806 and made the first bar iron in Ohio in 1809.
