Canal Fulton Cheese Factory
The Canal Fulton Cheese Factory was opened in 1912 by Fred Dahler and Jacob Berger, who also ran the Berger Cheese Factory in New Berlin (now known as North Canton). Like its counterpart in New Berlin, the Canal Fulton Cheese factory specialized in Brick Cheese[1][2]. It operated out of the old location of St. John's Lutheran Church at 555 Market St W after the church relocated to its current location at 336 Market St W.[3].
Fred Dahler
Fred Dahler immigrated from Seftigen, Switzerland in 1905 to work at Jacob Berger's cheese factory in North Canton. At some point between 1913 and 1924 he bought out the North Canton factory while continuing to run the factory in Canal Fulton. In 1924 Fred traveled home to Switzerland to visit his father and conduct some business[4]. It is not clear how long the cheese factory operated, but the building is currently a private residence.
