Their sense of adventure and willingness to embrace progress that accompanies these pioneering people has resulted in a “can-do” attitude that has propelled Canton from a single homestead to a thriving community.

That can-do attitude shines through in Canton’s first-class schools, progressive civic organizations, award-winning healthcare facilities, growing business community, and on the faces of the people who call Canton home.
