And 50 years ago, june 22, 1969, there was a fire on the Cuyahoga River at the end of navigation, a couple of miles south of here, end of navigation meeting boats meaning boats could not go farther upstream. This is where a couple of low Railroad Trestles blocked some debris that was coming downstream, which was not unusual, the piers from the bridge, they got soaked in oil, which was also not unusual, and then there was a spark perhaps from a passing train. We do not know exactly what set off the fire. The trestles burned for half a minute half an hour. They were doused by both a fire boat and from crews on the shore.

The Cuyahoga River as it reaches lake erie after a 100 mile twisting and turning journey from its headwaters is an exhaustive stream, abused and misused by man and his machines. Without the cuyahoga, cleveland and akron would not exist. The river was the reason for originally settling this portion of the western reserve in the 1780s.

Until today, nearly two Million People live and work in the river basin. In creating this urban complex, man has used the river as men have always used rivers.
