Northern Summit County's Macedonia counted 12,168 residents in 2020. Of its 4,894 households, 61.7% are married couples and 27.2% are raising kids under 18, and among 5,094 housing units just 0.7% of owner homes stood empty.
When a house keeps its first garage door for decades, some spring or opener gear eventually wears out. Our crew swaps springs and cables, trues up crooked doors, revives openers and fits brand-new doors, and a real human picks up the phone 24/7.
Trading the house's first door for an insulated steel model warms the garage, hushes early-morning departures and freshens the front of the house in one move. We install Clopay, Amarr and Wayne Dalton doors, from simple raised-panel designs to carriage-house styles with windows. See garage door installation.
A new LiftMaster opener with a camera and phone app, or a Genie screw drive for a basic setup, rounds out the job. More at opener installation.
Local lore traces the name to a small joke among divinity students at Western Reserve College, which in the early 19th century was in Hudson. Called on to preach in a small hamlet to the north, the students recalled a Bible passage, Acts 16:10: "...we sought to go to Macedonia, concluding that the Lord had called us to preach the gospel to them." The name stuck. Among the people the city counts as its own are astronaut Ronald M. Sega and Mark Foster, lead singer of Foster the People, and 41.2% of adults over 25 hold at least a bachelor's degree.
For decades the hamlet barely grew: 219 people in 1880, 452 in 1910 and 734 in 1930. By 1970 there were 6,375, and growth continued to 9,224 in 2000 and 12,168 in 2020. Much of Macedonia was carved from the eastern part of the old Northfield Center Township, which still had 5,597 residents of its own in 2020, with a piece from the west side of Twinsburg Township. The biggest growth came in the three decades after 1970. If your home went up in those years and still has its first door, its springs and opener deserve a check before they fail on a cold morning.
At roughly 1,034 feet, Macedonia gets Northeast Ohio's full share of cold snaps and heavy snow. Plow ridges build up at the end of driveways, and meltwater runs back toward garage doors and freezes along the bottom seal.
Forcing a frozen door with the opener can chew up its drive gear or crease the top section. Free the seal first, and if you hear straining, stop. An autumn tune-up covers lubrication, spring balance, opener force and a fresh bottom seal.
The State Route 8 freeway ends at Interstate 271 in Macedonia, and in 2014 the regional planning agency proposed designating the Akron-to-Macedonia stretch as Interstate 380. Exit 18 on I-271 serves Routes 8 and 82, and exit 19 leads onto East Aurora Road, which is Route 82.
Macedonia hosts Nordonia High School, the lone high school for the Nordonia Hills district. Its mascot is a knight and its colors are green, black and white, and its teams play in the Suburban League. Classmates come from Northfield, Northfield Center and Sagamore Hills Township, and Macedonia's ZIP code is 44056.
