WIKI for the History of Cleveland's westside
The area of Cuyahoga County west of the Cuyahoga River was originally called Brooklyn. Brooklyn was township number 7 of range 13. [see the article on the Western Reserve for more information on how townships were numbered.]
Brooklyn's northern boundary was Lake Erie, it's eastern boundary was the Cuyahoga River, it's southern boundary was Parma and Independence, and it's western boundary was Rockport.
Origins
The westside was known as the Lord and Barber allotment. All settlers would have purchased their land from Samuel P. Lord and Josiah Barber.
The first permanent white settler of Brooklyn was James Fish.
