Linda, The large part of Massillon is in Perry Township, but along the northern limits is Jackson Township. Jackson Township then goes to the Summit County line. In Jackson Twp is a large shopping center called Belden north of Canton. They tried to incorporate Jackson Township into a city but the voters turned it down.

I have been unable to locate a Jackson in Stark County. Is Jackson no longer a town? Was it located near Massillon?
