Geographic Center of Steel Industry designated at Dola
Dola Ohio, a farming village of 175 people, is named the center of gravity for the U.S. steel industry by the American Iron and Steel Institute using a tons-times miles method. The nearest steel furnace is 60 miles away in Mansfield and few residents have seen a steel plant. California citrus plants supply 2,000,000 pounds of pectin annually for wartime needs.
