Streetsboro is a city in western Portage County, Ohio, United States.

The city was formed from the former Streetsboro Township of the Connecticut Western Reserve.

Long before settlers moved into the Connecticut Western Reserve, Seneca Indians traversed the area now called Streetsboro.

They used Old Portage Trail, which crosses the southwest corner of the city, to go from Lake Erie to the Ohio River basin.

The founder of Streetsboro Township was Titus Street from Connecticut, who purchased the land in 1798.

The land was surveyed by Street's agents Ralph Cowles and Lemuel Punderson in the summer of 1822, and divided into lots of 100 acres (0.40 km2).

In 1825, a turnpike from Cleveland to Wellsville, Ohio, was laid by Frederick Wadsworth, Samuel Cowles, John Strauyhen, and Titus Street.

By 1957, with the growth of the automobile industry, Streetsboro experienced a population explosion.

Proximity to the Akron and Cleveland areas, along with direct access to Interstate 80 (Ohio Turnpike), Interstate 480, and State Routes 303, 43, and 14, have greatly contributed to the rapid growth of manufacturing, distribution, commercial and residential development in the past 50 years.

In 1968, voters decided to merge the township and the village to become one city consisting of 25 sq mi (65 km2).
