Trying to write about the history of a neighborhood is like attempting to read a book where big clumps of pages are stuck together. You can open some of the pages and gets glimpses but the big majority of the text is hidden. Sometimes, if you are lucky, a couple of pages can be pried apart and some new parts can be read. More often than not, though, those pages are destined to remain glued together and you'll never really know what was inside although occasionally you can make inferences. | Trying to write about the history of a neighborhood is like attempting to read a book where big clumps of pages are stuck together.

Brooklyn Centre Historic DistrictThe heart of Brooklyn Centre is at the intersection of West 25th Street and Denison Avenue in Cleveland, Ohio. Brooklyn Centre was first settled in the early 1800's, by the Fish, Brainard, and Foote families, as a farming community. The area achieved the status of "Historic District" on May 7, 1984, with a formal dedication ceremony held on May 20, 1984 at the Archwood United Church of Christ. The area contains many landmarks of historic note.
Today is: Wednesday, June 17, 2026
This branch started as an offshoot of the genealogy section. The Wiki format allows for a convenient place to store and organize tidbits of information found while researching various families residing in the area. Trying to write about the history of a neighborhood is like attempting to read a book where big clumps of pages are stuck together. You can open some of the pages and gets glimpses but the big majority of the text is hidden. Sometimes, if you are lucky, a couple of pages can be pried apart and some new parts can be read. More often than not, though, those pages are destined to remain glued together and you'll never really know what was inside although occasionally you can make inferences. Any history contained within this Wiki has been brought out a bit at a time, as it is found. This means that if you read one of the pages today, in a week or a month's time more may have been added as new things were discovered. It's an ongoing process. Unless you know exactly what you are looking for here, I suggest that you click on the Random Page link over in the Navigation menu on the left. Using it will give you an opportunity to dip your toes in unexpected places. Enjoy.
