| About Cleveland, Ohio |
The city of Cleveland got its name from its founder, General Moses Cleaveland, a surveyor from Connecticut who ventured west along Lake Erie and eventually landed in a forested area with the Cuyahoga River on one side and Lake Erie on another. He thought, “Yes, this would make a great place for a city!” And so, in 1796, Cleveland was officially born. Why was the "a" dropped? A local newspaper didn't have enough space on its masthead to fit it, so the letter was dropped. The name stuck ever since. Cleveland is home to LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Museum, and the Great Lakes Science Center.
Did you know... The Cuyahoga River that runs through most of northeast Ohio before depositing in Lake Erie has had an interesting history with Cleveland. The stretch of the river that runs through the city has caught on fire 13 different times!
