The Early History of Cleveland, Ohio 

Great video

Joe: I saw your comment about slowing down your speech . . . a lot. An earlier poster here made that request before I could, and I can only encourage you to do so. NE Ohio native here, and I thirst for more historical knowledge relevant to my earlier years. Continue your passion, my good sir!

Goddamn this is the quality content that I want. I’m shocked how little views this video has for how well produced it is

You forgot to mention Lorenzo Carter, the first permanent settler of Cleveland, who ran the settlement while Moses Cleaveland lived back in Connecticut and got rich.

Great work. I have a picture of my grandmother at two years old in 1909 standing on the front porch of a fine house on Kinsman Ave. Later, there is another shot of the house going downhill in 1946. It's gone now with a parking lot in that space

I'm from Cleveland Ohio seen this video and it's just amazing! learning more about our town and it's history!! 🎉🎉 I just love this! Thank you for spreading of Information and knowledge!!

Concise history lesson, great job! I visited Cleveland (Independence) a few times for business between 2001 & 2004. Good memories.

Great job young man. I have deep roots in Garfield Hts., when all the steel mills in Pittsburgh shut down after World War II, my family all moved to Cleveland because of jobs. Always be proud of your home town, no matter where your life takes you in this world.

Great job! Very well organized, explained, and articulated!

Very nicely done! I just moved to Cleaveland a few months ago, and I learned a lot from your video. You speak well, and it is apparent that you are an avid history buff.

Great job. Im from Columbus. My moms side of the family is from Elyria. I like that you didn't edit your speaking with a bunch of jump cuts. The on location filming was great. I can tell you put in a lot of work. Well done!!!

Great video. I think a cool video idea would be the migration of Chinatown throughout the decades. I think it started off just north of public square, then got moved to superior and 23rd, then moved once again to the payne and 30s area

please continue

I can tell you're very passionate about the work you do. And, its nice to see someone else knowing the war that once happened between Ohio City and Cleveland. :) Keep on doing what you love, you will find great success in that!

Bruh this is so awesome Joe, i hope this channel grows and grows cause ive never seen anything like this on youtube

Great job! Thank you! You rock & Cleveland Rocks!

Well done. Love it.

Wow! Hand drawn maps put this on another level. Lived all over Clevo. Loved it. Now I know it better, thanks.

Very interesting and informative, Joe. Keep the history/geography videos coming. Thanks a lot.

You are the best person ever on RU-vid I hope you and your family have a awesome thanksgiving this month

The 🔥 land

geo joe is the man. please. keep making cleveland content, someone needs to do this

Excellent video I moved to Cleveland in 1991 and one of the primary reasons where the Metroparks there is no other city that I’m aware of that has a Metropark system as amazing as the one in Cleveland. It’s a genius plan executed perfectly. I’m a bicyclist and have the emerald necklace many times over 100 miles of connected beautiful Parkway, I believe it is Cleveland’s number one asset

Great video, sir! I thoroughly enjoyed it and your presentation was awesome. Please keep up the good work!

I loved the video, Joe!

That was really cool. Good job bro...👍. E.L. Cleveland, Ohio

This video made me homesick! I was born in St Alexis Hospital (now a vacant lot on Broadway Ave) and grew up in Parma. There’s a library at the Western Reserve Historical Society @ University Circle that you might like, when it reopens due to the Covid-19.

This is absolutely amazing I didn’t know all this information and I’ve lived here all my life (Give or take a few years) (15 years) (I’m 17)

Fantastic video. great job!

Awesome Video!

Dude I'm going to visit Cleveland this winter and thanks to this video finally I know a lot of Cleveland's history! And greetings from Puerto Rico!!

I’m Irish, and I’ve always wanted to know more about Cleveland, Ohio! What is the Irish presence like there? Ohio is a very impressive state!

Very well done! You’re a natural educator! I’m from West Boulevard neighborhood of Cleveland. Love the history of our city 🤘

great work brother, I was looking for such kind of information

This was fantastic! Keep up the great work.

Thank you for this CLE 101. My channel is all about local nature and I similarly deliver it POV style. There's a certain charisma to it. Bravo, man.

Let’s go cuyahoga county I should do some research on South Euclid (where I live)

Great job!

You should do a video on Dayton Ohio

Glad the algorithm finally brought me here. Great video! Greetings from the Firelands.

As my father likes to say, "Hurray for Cleveland!" Seriously, I've visited relatives there so many times, and my mother's originally from there.

Very informative lived here my whole life and you taught me some knowledgeable things

Good Job Joe! Keep up the good work involving Ohio and the history to be shared with the masses.

Very cool, Geography Joe - we liked this a lot! Thanks!

Great vid. :)

Awesome video. I grew up in Ohio and my high school was part of the Fireland's Conference. I never knew where that name came from. Now I do!

Cuyahoga 🔥💧?

Nice video, Joe. I'll be looking for follow-up videos from you.

Hope next time you show some interesting places in Cleveland Am from west side Cleveland.

Aye geo joe raw this is awesome bruv. Cleveland is tha city where we come from so rah run. Bro the info is fantastic 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Great! Born in the Firelands West of Cleveland. Our role allegedly during Prohibition was quite large as well. Canada being only six miles away. Bomb City in the 70's during the Mafia restructure.

Thanks for the video about East Cleveland Geography Joe.

Well done, sir. Cool. I'm from Cleveland and this is the first time I've heard some of those info.

Nice! I'm from Parma and didn't even know half this stuff😅

I really enjoyed this, thank you! Now I have a deeper understating of East and West in Cleveland's origins, among other things. Thank you!

Enjoyed the video. Great information

Cleveland Is MY hometown as well but Im from the east side, but yes Cleveland and Ohio City fought at that bridge, police had to get involved BUT Ohio City would become in debt so they eventually annexed with Cleveland, which East Cleveland probably will real soon too... It is said that General Moses Cleaveland founded the city and never came back, way back in 1796. Im not a hostorian, I just love learning about the history of my hometown! Did you know the Arch lamps were invented right here in northeast ohio and some of the first ones were used on public square?

Fuck yeah!! Cleveland Rocks baby!! Born and raised and will always live here!!

After seeing a few videos from you bro, I'm subscribing

That was awesome!!

Kudos to you! You put a lot of hard work into this presentation. I live in Chicago but originally from Cleveland and I have truly learned a lot about my hometown. It makes me proud and even more proud to be from the same hometown as Steve Harvey.😊❤️

Thank for the excellent history lesson on Cleavland! I learned several things & appreciate the great work you did on maps and showing the emerging areas incorporation. The only request I have, maybe bc I'm 65, is to slow it down a tad and talk a little slower, just enough for us oldies to catch up! Even so, a very nice piece of work.

So sorry to see you didn't include the early presence of the Old Stone Church.

You should include the early settlement of "Pilgeruh" by missionaries from Moravia. David Zeisberger was their leader. Later, they moved south and founded Gnadenhutten. The earliest map the Cuyahoga valley was drawn by these missionaries before Moses Cleaveland arrived.

I live in New York City, but I’m originally from Bedford Heights!!!

Wonderful Video !

NIce presentation, well done.

Great video I was born and raised in CLE and I learned some information thanks for sharing. Question have you done a video or can you do one on the different communities that reside within Cleveland?

*COME LOOK AT BOTH OF OUR BUILDINGS*

Very well done!

My home town!

Cool

This is great content, I hope to make a Cleveland video someday!

Theres one pressing question out of all this though. (Great information by the way) Are you a Browns fan?

Greater Cleveland Expands Role as Home of the International Environmental Art Movement as the Primary Economic Engine for the Region and as the 'Cradle for a Universal Culture of Peace' for All Living Things the Worlds Children. '........The Global Home of the Environmental Art Movement is the region in Northern Ohio that is noted for its growing concentration of Sustainable Design and Technology Industries. Geographically, the region occupies the same area as the Greater Cleveland Area where it is centered and where most of the companies are located. It is in the northeastern part of Ohio, an area stretching from the south end to Akron-Canton, Lorain in the west and Youngstown in the east. It is visualized as the home for many of the world's largest technology corporations, as well as thousands of small start ups working on a sustainable future. The term ICEALITY is from the 'Theory of Iceality on Environmental Arts' is now generally used as a metonym for the global cultural of peace sector. Google search any of the above for more information

Dorky AF, but informative and fun to watch.

More about Ohio, please. Maybe come over to Sandusky. (Hint hint)

Love the t-shirt!!!

Don't forget the Hopewell native peoples part of the woodland culture... Mounds throughout Southeast Cleveland bulldozed Mound elementary School name for one of the mounds that the school was built on top of

Also don't forget it is also the home of Joe Schuster and Jerry Siegel the men who made Superman

From 2023 …,you did pretty good …

Represent!

Thirty Year Cleveland History of the Iconic 'People Not Mascots' Logo Artist: David Jakupca Acrylic on Canvas 22" x 28" 1992 Signed Lower Right The 'People Not Mascots' Logo is meant to be a Native American protest caricature of the racists Chief Wahoo logo of the Cleveland Indians Baseball team that lost to the Chicago Cubs in the 2016 World Series. It was originally designed and painted in 1992 by David Jakupca at the historic ARK in Berea Eco-Museum for the Committee of 500 Years of Dignity and Resistance along with the Lake Erie Native American Council (LENAC) incorporating elements of the Theory of Iceality on Environmental Arts. The 'People not Mascots' Logo has drawn criticism from Cleveland sportswriters, fans and local businessmen, but received immediate acceptance among humanitarian, religious groups and Native Americans. The Cleveland 'People not Mascots' Logo gained international popular attention when it was it exhibited by ICEA at the 1993 United Nations World Conference on Human Rights held in Vienna, Austria. It is the most widely known anti-racist logo and has changed the way people view the trillion dollar international sports industries by sparking the social justice movement in professional sports.

According to genealogy done on my family, my early grandfather was the first Caucasian child born in Cleveland. After being cheated out of property, the family continued west eventually settlin in & around northern Indiana. One brother continued west, years later, ending up in Iowa.

Very nice place Cleveland

Did the surveyors of Cleveland originally settle in Euclid?

I'm confused. On the original charter for village of Cleveland and city of Cleveland, it is spelled "Cleveland" why did it then continue as "Cleaveland"?

Will Cleveland incubate SpikeBoarding Skiing?

Nice work. I'm also a geography joe. Check out the map room at CPL downtown if you get a chance.

You missed the most important fact that Moses Cleveland name originally had an A in it and they got the land from the aboriginal peoples the moors as shown on the treaty of Greenville..

South Euclid!
