Why you'd want to live in Canton

Between the Pearl and Big Black Rivers, immigrants and farmers were lured here by the lush and fertile soil. Around the corners of our square, we have woven a story of our people, the roots of which are culturally diverse: businesses built by immigrants from far away places, legends of our Chinese namesake, a rich legacy of African American blues and business, and generations of families from all walks of life. via cityofcantonms.com
