It was named after the county, which had been named by Heman Ely, who thought the area looked very much like the Province of Lorraine in France. Loraina s location next to Lake Erie and the \u003cbr\u003eearly arrival of the B\u0026amp;O Railroad in 1871 made the \u003cbr\u003ecity a hotbed for industry. The Hayden Brass Works \u003cbr\u003ebuilt a large plant on Elyria Avenue. Captain Thew, a \u003cbr\u003eship captain on the lakes, developed an improved gear \u003cbr\u003esystem for a steam shovel, and that started the Lorain Thew Shovel Co., which became known worldwide. \u003cbr\u003eLorain grew tremendously in the 1890s. Construction \u003cbr\u003eof the Johnson Steel Rail Company started in 1894, and in just ten years, the population of the City of Lorain tripled. In 1894, the American Stove Works built a plant in Lorain, where they made heaters and furnaces. Three years later, the American Shipbuilding Company built a yard and launched hundreds of ships before it closed in 1984. Lorain, Ohio, certainly did its part during World War II; many men went into service, and Lorain produced its own share of heroes. The shipyard was also put to work by the government to build the USS Lorain, a frigate.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 130\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.38 x 9.61 x 6.69 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 27, 1999\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47282678792441,"sku":"9781531601133","price":43.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/aC9kSlMzQjhvbFdpdFlzTmFxZ25nQT09.webp?v=1769066163","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/lorain-hardcover","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
