This week, we take a look at the shared history of the Nordonia Hills, a collection of communities in northern Summit County, Ohio — the City of Macedonia, the Village of Northfield, and Sagamore Hills Township — all united under the Nordonia Hills City Schools. This collaboration reflects the region’s commitment to education and community unity.

The name “Nordonia” itself is a creative blend, merging “Northfield” and “Macedonia” when the two communities joined forces to form a shared school district. This fusion symbolizes the coming together of local traditions and aspirations.

Meanwhile, Northfield Park, which first opened its gates in 1934 as a harness-racing track, continues its legacy today as MGM Northfield Park, a testament to the enduring spirit of the Village of Northfield.
