What We Do in Austintown

Austintown is the urban heart of Austintown Township, a census-designated place directly west of Youngstown with 29,594 residents at the 2020 census. It covers 44% of the township's land but holds 81% of its people, and every resident is counted as urban. Its 13,838 households live in 14,930 housing units, just 1.6% of owner homes sat vacant at the count, and the median resident is 43.6.

Most of those homes have an attached garage, and most of those doors have been opening and closing for decades. Phone Proactive when yours fails for same-day service on most calls, often within 1 hour at Austintown addresses. We're available 24/7.

From Coal Farms to a Postwar Suburb

Austintown Township began as township 2, range 3 of the Connecticut Western Reserve and was named for Calvin Austin of Warren, a Western Reserve judge. John McCollum of New Jersey became its first settler in 1794, and the township grew slowly through the 19th century until coal miners and their families lifted it to 2,502 people by 1880. A post office called Orange opened on November 15, 1815, and took the name Austintown on May 6, 1872.

After World War II the township boomed. Suburban growth spread from Youngstown into its eastern side while a central community grew along State Route 46, and in 1980 the Census Bureau drew the Austintown census-designated place around those urban areas. The count peaked at 33,636 that year.

So the typical Austintown house is a postwar ranch, split-level or bi-level with an attached one- or two-car garage. Many still have original springs, tracks and the first opener ever installed. Those are the parts that wear out, and we replace them with components sized to your door rather than a one-size-fits-all kit.

Winter Swings in Austintown

Winters here mix snow, sleet and ice, and the temperature can swing from a thaw to a deep freeze in a day. That is hard on torsion springs, which lose tension in the cold, and on bottom seals that freeze to the concrete overnight.

If the opener strains, stop pressing the button and call us before a gear strips. A fall service visit balances the springs, greases every pivot and proves the safety reverse works.

The Log Cabin, the Stone House and Fitch High

Two of the community's earliest historic sites still stand: the Austintown Log House, built in 1814, and the Judge William Shaw Anderson House, built in 1831. The Anderson house, also called the Strock Stone House, was built from huge sandstone blocks, some as heavy as 750 pounds, quarried from Stony Ridge on South Turner Road, and its first residents were carpenter William Strock and his family. Judge Anderson lived there from 1890 to 1925 and enlarged it between 1912 and 1918, adding a sun porch, a dining room and central heat. In 1929 his children sold the house and land to the Mahoning Valley Sanitary District, and it was the home of the district's chief engineer until 1985. Listed on the National Register in 1976, it is now kept by the Austintown Historical Society with the district's help, furnished with period pieces from antique washing machines in the basement to a printing press and two 1920 Remington typewriters in the office, and it opens for free guided tours on the first Sunday of each month from March through December.

Austintown Fitch High School opened in 1916 as Austintown Centralized School, consolidating several one-room schools, and took the name of John H. Fitch, who donated its land, in 1924; classes moved to the present campus in 1968. The Fitch Falcons have won state titles in boys basketball (1931), bowling and cross country, and in softball in 2023 and 2024. The township, home to 36,049 people and the only Austintown Township in Ohio, has the Meander Creek Reservoir on its west side and Ax Factory Run, with Woodside Lake along its course, flowing west to east through the middle, and State Route 11, Interstate 80 and Interstate 680 all cross the township. George Shuba, remembered for a handshake with Jackie Robinson that helped break down baseball's color barrier, and major league umpire Brian O'Nora both have Austintown roots.
