Corporate Research International is headquartered in the historic Kirk building, which was built in 1905 as a grocery warehouse. The building has been restored to its original splendor with such features as original wood floors, tin ceilings and much memorabilia from Kirk & Sons grocery throughout the building.
Corporate Research International is located in the city of Findlay, Ohio a.k.a. "Flag City, USA", and was officially designated as such on May 7, 1974, by House Joint Resolution #1003, introduced by Congressman Tennyson Guyer.
Findlay is located in northwestern Ohio, adjacent to Interstate 75, about 47 miles south of Toledo and 108 miles north of Dayton.
The city derived its name from Colonel James Findlay, Commander of the second regiment in the War of 1812. First laid out in the year 1821 by Joseph Vance and Elnathan Cory, Wilson Vance gave the town of Findlay its name. The early spelling “Findley” was used until 1870 when the modern spelling (Findlay) began to be used.
Findlay, Ohio is a fast growing community of some 39,000 citizens – a city having a great heritage since 1821. Conservative, yet energetically progressive in handling its new growth, Findlay is now an international community attracting multi-national corporations and industries, and many international students who venture here to attend the highly-respected University of Findlay. We are also a patriotic community, enthusiastically proud of our official designation as Flag City, USA.
