Montrose, Ohio

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Montrose is the name given by Northeast Ohioans to an area of restaurants, stores, and businesses located along a stretch of Route 18 near Interstate 77, passing through Copley, Fairlawn and Bath. It is included in the Montrose-Ghent census-designated place. It had been a quiet hamlet for much of its history, with such establishments as a drive-in theater, golf courses and a church. It became a busy retail area in the 1990s as new commercial development moved in.

Montrose was originally called Latta's Corners and then Ellis' Corners. (Doyle, 1908)
