OTHER INFORMATION
Cuyahoga County was formally organized in 1810. Its name comes from the Indian word meaning "crooked" and refers to the winding Cuyahoga River, which runs through the county.
The first settlement in the county was made in 1796 by General Moses Cleaveland and named in his honor. It is said that the first "a" was dropped from the name by an early newspaper editor who found "Cleaveland" too long to fit into headlines.
Cleveland, the county seat, is an important steel manufacturing city, a world port, and a transportation crossroad. The city is a center for service, and educational activity in northern Ohio. By 1900 Cleveland had passed Cincinnati as Ohio's leading city.
The chief industries in Cuyahoga County include; machinery, metals, transportation equipment, printing and publishing, chemicals, food, apparel, motor vehicles, aircraft, electric motors and generators, plumbing fixtures and health related industries. Vegetables, greenhouse and nursery products are the agricultural industries.
