RICHFIELD

In 1800, 25-year-old Herman Oviatt, his wife, and two children left Connecticut for Ohio to declare a piece of land in what was known as the Western Reserve. At first, Herman settled in what is known today as Hudson, until he purchased the northwest quadrant which is known today as Richfield.

Richfield is a village in Summit County, Ohio, United States. It is part of the Akron metropolitan area.

The town is home to a number of natural historical attractions, among which is Lake Jinelle. Not only is this human-made lake fascinating, but Lake Jinelle is also the only known body of water in the country that is patented because of its ability to eliminate sediment deposits, helping prolong the life of the lake.
