Youngstown Charter Quiz
How many wards did Youngstown have after the first city charter was adopted in 1923?
Answer: 7
The 1923 election was without question the single most controversial election in Youngstown's history, so controversial in fact that the new city charter played second fiddle to everything else, so controversial in fact that the Youngstown Vindicator was fighting for its very life while the Youngstown Telegram was reaping rich rewards because of political endorsements.
