Republic Steel was founded as the Republic Iron and Steel Company in Youngstown, Ohio, in 1899. After rising to prominence during the 20th century, it was once the third-largest steel producer in the United States. Republic suffered heavy economic losses in the late 20th century and was eventually bought out before re-emerging in the early 2000s as a subsidiary.
