Legally, the City of Girard has not been a part of Liberty Township since the early or mid-1970s when the voters of Liberty Township voted not once but twice to disolve the original Liberty Township dating back to the Connecticut Western Reserve and establish a new Liberty Township that did not include the City of Girard and the City of Youngstown (Northside Hospital and Stambaugh Golf Course). Liberty Township of my hometown and I lived there from 1952 (I was one year old.) until December 1979, when my parents sold our home and I graduated from YSU in June 1980 (BE in Civil Engineering). At one time, some of the elite Youngstown families had estates in Liberty Township–the McKelveys, the Logans, the Andrew, the Wicks, and the Stambaughs. Much has changed and I wonder whether the two communities would still think this way, but it does illustrate the close connection. Contrary to Robert Frost’s neighbor who contended that “Good fences make good neighbors,” there are no fences between Liberty Township and the Youngstown boundary lines, and the communities are, indeed, good neighbors.Īley wrote this in 1976. No other community on Mahoning County’s perimeter has quite the same unique relationship that exists between Liberty Township and its neighboring political subdivision to the south. But I’m not the only one to connect them. It isn’t even part of Mahoning County, but rather Trumbull County.
Liberty Township isn’t a part of Youngstown. All those places are in Liberty Township. In later years my wife and I got meals at the Bob Evans and at Kravitz’s Deli (one of my dad’s favorites), and at Station Square with friends. We broke up shortly after watching the movie about the break up of the Beatles. I remember walking from her home to the Liberty Plaza to watch Let it Be. In high school, a girl I dated for a bit lived in Liberty. As a kid, we used to go to church picnics at Churchill Park. I don’t think I realized until I was older that Liberty Township wasn’t part of Youngstown.
