Hinckley Township, Medina County, Ohio
Hinckley Township is a city located in the northeast corner of Medina County, Ohio. It was founded in 1825 and named for its chief land speculator, one Samuel Hinckley from Massachusetts, who bought the area as part of the Connecticut Western Reserve. The city became known across Ohio and the United States as the home of the buzzards. On March 15 of every year, buzzards arrive in large flocks at the town, as if on a very exact biological clock. The town began celebrating the arrival of the birds in 1957, and today as many as 50,000 visitors visit the town annually on "Buzzard Day" to witness the arrival of the new residents. The event is used to mark the beginning of spring for Hinckley and the surrounding town.
