Return to Index History & History Related Items Cleveland history: Cleveland had its beginnings in 1796 when Moses Cleaveland, a surveyor, picked his townsite on the shore of Lake Erie. Only three members of his group agreed to stay since most were ill with Malaria. Growth was slow until the 1820's when a new canal was built. The Ohio and Erie Canal was completed in 1832. The northern end was Cleveland, which had more than doubled its population by that time. The name of Cleaveland was shortened to Cleveland when the local newspaper, The Cleveland Gazette and Commercial Register, had to shorten its masthead by one letter to make it fit. The editor chose to leave out the "a" in Cleaveland. During the Civil War times, Cleveland was an important part of the underground railroad. The port on Lake Erie was important for those slaves seeking to go into Canada for freedom. Also after the completion of the canal, the first groups of immigrants came to the Cleveland area. Much growth occurred after the Civil war was over. Many large industrialists settled into the area, such as: Jephtha Wade with the telegraph company which later became Western Union, Charles Brush who invented the carbon arc lamp that was used to light the city street lamps, Sam Mather in steel and shipping, Mark Hanna, also a steel and shipping man, but a politician too. John D. Rockefeller, the world's first billionaire, was a part of Cleveland's history with his fortune in Standard Oil Co. In recent years, the population has declined some as people have moved to the expanding suburbs of big cities all over the nation. Cleveland has risen to the challenge and created new jobs and new enterprises to attract others to come to the area. There are over 19,000 acres of metropolitan parks, rivers, streams and lake.
