The Tuscarawas River basin average rainfall for June 11 through June 17th was 7.58 with 3 to 5 falling during the 16th and 17th. As a result of concurrent major flooding on the tributary Chippewa Creek and the headwaters of the Tuscarawas River resulted in a flood near the 0.2 percent or 500 year flood level at the confluence in Canal Fulton and Clinton. Downstream of Canal Fulton the Tuscarawas River reached a near 1 percent recurrence flood, or 100 year event in the City of Massillon.||In Canal Fulton, just downstream of Clinton, flood levels were higher than a 1 percent or 100 year flood, but less than a .2 percent or 500 year flood level.

| July 2011 | Flash Flood | Aultman | $2,000,000 | The Nimishillen Creek, a tributary for the Tuscarawas River, reached major flood stage at the gage site in North Industry.

The west branch sub-watershed begins in Lake Township in northern Stark and near the Akron-Canton Regional Airport in the City of Green in Summit County. Almost five inches of rain fell over the headwaters of the west branch that night, all of which drains into North Canton. A major tributary to the west branch is Zimber Ditch which begins around the Akron-Canton Airport and also flows directly south paralleling I-77 into Jackson Township. Zimber Ditch has experienced more frequent flood problems over the last decade due to continued urban and suburban growth in the basin. Flooding along the Zimber Creek this event was responsible for a significant amount of the flood damage resulting in North Canton and downstream communities. The NWS forecast point for the Nimishillen Creek is located south of Canton in North Industry. By the time this site crested, the flooding was beginning to recede in Canton. By 9:00 AM the reported stage was of 11.14 FT and a flow over 6000 cfs, or major flood category. This was the fifth highest flow for this gage site since records began in 1921. Overal several hundreds of homes and businesses were flooded necessitating evacuations and moving residents into shelters which were opened earlier in response to the excessive heat the day before. A number of water rescues were conducted, but no reports of injuries or fatalities. |

| June 2014 | Flash Flood | North Canton | $1,500,000 | On the evening of June 18th heavy rain fell over northern Stark County between 6 and 7 PM. A automated rain gauge in Alliance measured 1.35 inches in that one hour. This intense rain on saturated ground and still flooded portions of town led to flash flooding and more intense damage to the Plain Township area. Two homes on Chaucer Street in Sherwood Village collapsed when their foundations gave way. Several other homes have sanitary sewer problems. More than 100 residents whose property sustained flood damage. 10-14 people were evacuated that evening from an apartment complex which was inundated with 18 of flood waters from a tributary of the Middle Branch of the Nimishillen Creek. Homes on Arboretum Circle were also evacuated on Wednesday night from the Zimber Ditch. Numerous roads sustained erosion and tar removal from the flowing water. Graybill Road between Massillon Road and Mayfair Road suffered erosion. Berna Road was closed for two weeks to repair two damaged pipes. Greensburg Road, near the 1600 block of Nimisila Road was also damaged by flood waters. |
| June 2006 | Tornado (F1) | Brewster | $1,500,000 | A F1 tornado touched down just west of Brewster at 5:45 p.m. on June 22nd.

Twelve mobile homes were also destroyed or damaged enough to be declared uninhabitable in Brewster. A local utility company had roughly $300,000 in damage and repair costs. The tornado continued to Navarre and finally lifted after damaging a few more homes and buildings. It was estimated that over a thousand trees were downed along the damage path with 400 reported down in Brewster and another 300 down in Navarre. Some of this damage may have been caused by straight line winds associated with the parent thunderstorm. Most of the structural damage along the path was caused by toppled trees. The City of Brewster alone spent $450,000 for clean up costs and repairs to city property. |
| June 2019 | Flood | Massillon | $1,200,000 | The Chippewa Creek, a tributary for the Tuscarawas River measured an estimated 7.34 between the 11th and 17th of June, again with 3 to 5 inches falling on the 16th and 17th.

The Tuscarawas River basin average rainfall for June 11 through June 17th was 7.58 with 3 to 5 falling during the 16th and 17th.

Downstream of Canal Fulton the Tuscarawas River reached a near 1 percent recurrence flood, or 100 year event in the City of Massillon.||11 AM On June 18th, the flood gauge was 14.82 ft. which made it the fourth highest recording since 1913. Massillon is a City protected by extensive levee systems through most of the town. Therefore most of the city is not impacted by flood waters until major flood stage. Near 3rd St. ad Lake Ave there is water up to the foundation of 3-6 homes, water over 3rd SW St., and water up to the bottom of the bridge of Lake Ave. Further downstream in Navarre flood waters covered Center Street NW and Ohio Street SW (U.S. Route 62), a major thruway. |

Most of this rain fell in the less than 90 minutes on ground already saturated from heavy rains the previous 24 hours. Two day rainfall totals from across the county included: 3.16 inches in Beach City; 3.10 inches in North Lawrence; 3.02 inches in Osnaburg Township; 2.98 inches in Genoa and 2.70 inches in Alliance. Rapid rises in area streams and rivers resulted from this rainfall and led to flash flooding in several areas. Most of the flooding was reported in Pike, Tuscarawas and Canton Townships. In Tuscarawas Township, Wolf Creek and Pigeon Run left their banks flooding several roads. Nimishillen Creek and Bear Run flooded in Canton and Pike Townships causing some damage. Many homes along these streams were damaged by the rapidly rising flood waters and several roads had to be closed. Damage to the homes was mainly from nuisance or basement flooding and no significant structural damage was reported. Local officials estimate that there could be some crop loss from standing water. |
| June 2006 | Tornado (F1) | East Sparta | $500,000 | The same parent thunderstorm that produced a tornado in northeastern Holmes County spawned a second tornado in southeastern Stark County. A F1 tornado touched down east of East Sparta around 5:58 pm. This tornado moved east into Waynesburg where it followed Lisbon Street through the center of town and then lifted. The tornado had a damage path roughly three and a half miles long and no more than 50 yards in width. Hundreds of trees were downed along the damage path. Many of these trees were in Waynesburg where the top floor of a three story building in the downtown area was tore off. A second building on Mill Street also sustained significant damage.

Museum specimens collected inside this county and catalogued with a date and a place: 755 of them, by kingdom 674 animalia, 62 plantae, 9 fungi, 8 unrecorded, 1 chromista. Each is a physical object in a named collection, not a sighting. Held by Ohio State University - Fish Division, Columbus, OH (OSUM), UMMZ, YPM, CM, Cleveland Museum of Natural History, OH (CLEV), DMNH among others, and each settlement page carries the specimens collected near it.
The oldest of them. A specimen proves something was collected on that day; its absence proves nothing.

History of Stark County, with an Outline Sketch of Ohio devotes a chapter to each township: its boundaries and streams, who settled it and when, the mills, the schools and the churches. All 13 are reproduced here in full. Each row shows the township's own shape and where it lies in the county, drawn from the Census Bureau's boundary. Which settlements belong to which township is computed from that same boundary, not taken from the book.
Everyone History of Stark County, with an Outline Sketch of Ohio stops to write about, with the section that describes them. Among them are the men who founded the place and governed the Territory. Each name opens the passage itself, in the words of 1881.
Named settlements recorded in the Geographic Names Information System, each with the topographic sheets covering it. Villages, hamlets and abandoned places alike. Each is shown with the watercourse or landform it stands on and the survey quadrangle it falls on.
