The History of Blue Pond in Goodyear Heights, Akron, Ohio ***Updates and corrections to information since the video’s release*** 1. John F. Seiberling, rather than his son Frank, was granted permission to establish the trolley line to Blue Pond. 2. Local pronunciation of Frank Seiberling https://www.howtopronounce.com/frank-... *** Blue Pond, located at the bottom of Goodyear Boulevard in Akron, Ohio, has a rich history as both a recreational spot and a source of local intrigue. Formed during the glacial retreat, the pond has gradually diminished in size, and without preservation efforts, it may continue to shrink. Natural springs from Goodyear Heights and constructed drains have maintained its water levels, although changes were made in the early 20th century to facilitate neighborhood development. Historically, it was larger and featured recreational facilities like a boardwalk and dance pavilion, but financial mismanagement and the recession of 1920 halted further improvements. Persistent rumors about its mysterious depths and the occasional appearance of bodies have added to its legend, although many of these stories have been debunked.
