Macedonia, Ohio

Macedonia is a city in northern Summit County, Ohio, United States.

The city's name is said to derive from a small joke among divinity students at Western Reserve College, which in the early 19th century was in Hudson, Ohio.

The students, who were called upon to preach in the small hamlet 6 miles (10 km) to the north, recalled Acts 16:10: "...we sought to go to Macedonia, concluding that the Lord had called us to preach the gospel to them.

Of the city's population over the age of 25, 41.2% holds a bachelor's degree or higher.

21.3% of all households were made up of individuals, and 9.6% were composed of a person 65 years or older living alone.
