A short history of Mentor

Ohio became the 17th state in the Union in 1803. The community was formally established in 1855, and earned the nickname "Rose Capital of the Nation" due to the abundant rosebushes that grew throughout the city. During the time this nickname developed, Mentor's tourist industry boomed due to Clevelanders trying to escape a dirty, industrial atmosphere. With the post-World War II spread of the automobile, Mentor saw an increase in middle and working-class families. By 2000, about 50,000 people lived in the city.

Flag

The flag of the City of Mentor was designed by Brad Frost in 1988 for a contest by Mentor Headlands. The flag's appearance resembles the State of Ohio's, with a similar shape, a large blue triangle, and stripes. The blue triangle represents Ohio's hills while the stripes represent roads and waterways. There is a white circle, symbolizing Ohio, with a Northern cardinal, the official bird of Ohio and Mentor, sitting in the middle. There are six stars surrounding the circle symbolizing the 6 original townships, including Mentor, surveyed in 1797.
