In the 1800s, Cleveland was developing from a farm town with not much in it to a major American city by the end of the century. During the 19th century, surveyors set out to record buildings all around the city. Led by Atlas of Cuyahoga County, Midwest Heritage and other organizations, 294 prints were made of different buildings, neighborhoods and streets of Cleveland during the 19th century. The photographs were originally illustrated and then engraved to depict the city at that time.
Believe it or not, Cleveland had a large network of streetcars during the first half of the twentieth century. The Cleveland Railway operated the streetcars, which began running in 1910. The lines were numerous, running on Madison, Clark, West 25th, Superior, Lorain, Euclid, St. Clair, Detroit, Mayfield, Kinsman and many others. The Cleveland Transit System took over from the Cleveland Railway system in 1942 and only 12 years later the streetcars shut down.
