Hubbard traces its heritage to the historic Connecticut Western Reserve and is the living legacy of Nehemiah Hubbard Jr.; a member of the Connecticut Land Company who purchased 15;274 acres and hired Samuel Tylee; Hubbards first settler; as his land agent to measure and sell lots. Hubbard remained a quiet farming community untilthe coal-mining boom of the early 1860s changed its future forever. Immigrants from Europe flocked here to work in the mines; and the industrialization of this small town began in earnest. Prosperity continued until the decline of the regions steel industry in the 1970s and; later; the loss of several major businesses. Along with the new millennium;however; came the formation of the Joint Economic Development District between Hubbard City and Township; which brought much-needed development to the Interstate 80; State Route 7/U.S. 62 corridor.
