Despite being located less than 640 kilometres (400 miles) from the coast, the city of Youngstown is considered to be in the Midwest. It was an early industrial city throughout the late 19th and early 20th centuries; but, due to the reorganisation of heavy industry and the relocation of employment elsewhere, it is now considered to be a part of the Rust Belt. Youngstown, which has historically been renowned as a hub of steel manufacturing, has been forced to adapt as the steel industry in the United States went into decline in the 1970s, leaving villages around the area without any main industry. Since the year 1959, there has been a drop in population of more than sixty percent. In the Appalachian Ohio area, at the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, is where you'll find the city of Youngstown.
