Cleveland was founded in 1796 by Moses Cleveland. It is not difficult to guess that the city got its name in honor of its founder - politician, General and participant of the war of independence. His expedition, the Connecticut Land company, explored the northeast of Ohio and established a settlement at the confluence of the Cuyahoga River to Lake Erie.

The most popular version is that the publisher of the first city newspaper specifically donated a letter for the convenience of placing the name.
Cleveland's geographical location has been a key factor in the city's growth. Developed rail links helped Cleveland to grow into an industrial center and become a city of millionaires: Rockefellers and Rothschilds. By 1920, Cleveland became the 5th largest city in the United States by population. However, since the beginning of the great depression and the decline of heavy industry development of the city slowed. The decrease in steel plant utilization and the crisis in the automotive industry have had a significant impact on the region, which remains highly dependent on these industries. Despite all attempts to revive and diversify the economy, the population of Cleveland continues to decline, and the city itself remains a quiet "backwater" of national scale. The trend towards the Exodus of the middle class and wealthy residents to the suburbs continues. As a result, the city is experiencing budget problems, infrastructure decline, and job cuts. Although the city is focused on the development of large projects in the city center, and downtown is considered a successful and developed area (along with several other areas), many areas of the city continue to experience depression.
