Moran is a place in Portage County, in the U.S. state of Ohio.[1] It is located in the western edge of Streetsboro, near its border with Hudson along Aurora Hudson Road.[2]
History
Moran had its start on a stagecoach line and was also known as Jesse, Moran Station, and Streetsboro Corners. Later, it was a stop on the Wheeling and Lake Erie Railway.[1][3] A post office called Jesse was established in 1887, and remained in operation until 1924.[4] Interstate 480 was built through the area in the mid-1960s.
Moran has remnants of a portion of the unfinished "Clinton Air Line", railroad, reportedly named for DeWitt Clinton. A bridge foundation remains at Tinker's Creek and some of the line was visible during the construction of the "Step Two" manufacturing plant. Also contains a small Civil War Veterans burial site (on private property).[5]
Notable person
Bobbie L. Sterne, mayor of Cincinnati in the late 1970s, was born at Moran in 1919.[6]
