Origination: Cole, Joseph E. Extent: 882 linear feet Physical Location: Abstract: After the Cleveland Press newspaper ceased publication on June 17, 1982. Joseph E. Cole, its publisher, donated the "morgue" to Cleveland State University. Representing the archived editorial library, sometimes referred to as a "newspaper morgue," topics focus on the news coverage of northeastern Ohio, with national and international news stories holding a secondary level of importance.The Cleveland Press photograph collection is composed of an archive of over one million photographs. Unit ID: PH2000.000PRE Language(s) of the Materials: English History of The Cleveland Press The Cleveland Press, founded by Edward W. Scripps, began as the Penny Press on 2 Nov. 1878. A small, 4-page afternoon daily, the paper continued to prosper. Shortened to the Press in 1884, and finally the Cleveland Press in 1889, by 1903 the Press was Cleveland's leading daily newspaper. As it entered the 1920s, the Press neared 200,000 in circulation. Louis B. Seltzer became the 12th editor of the Press in 1928, and under his 38-year stewardship the Press became one of the country's most influential newspapers. Seltzer readjusted its original working-class bias into a less controversial neighborhood orientation, stressing personal contacts and promoting the slogan "The Newspaper That Serves Its Readers." In the postwar period the Press continued its public service campaigns and remained an unrivaled force in Ohio politics.

  • Early Settlement of Cleveland
    Early Settlement of Cleveland In 1796 General Moses Cleaveland, following instructions from the Connecticut Land Company, selected the site of the "capital" city for the Western Reserve-midway between the eastern (Pennsylvania line) and the western (Sandusky Bay) boundaries of the Reserve, where the Cuyahoga River flows into Lake Erie. Cleaveland hoped the "city" might some day rival in population his native town of Wyndham, Connecticut (population then: 2,700). Within four decades, Cleveland fulfilled Cleaveland's prophecy. The first four families (the Gunds, Carters, Hawleys and Kingsburys) settled on the surveyed site in 1797. Fourteen years later, in 1811, the place contained only 18 families, an average increase of one new family each year. Conditions and circumstances conspired to produce such limited development. Fever and ague destroyed some settlers' health and led others to seek towns of higher elevations. Unlike some Reserve settle- ments-David Hudson's town of Hudson, for example-no proprietor (member of the Connecticut Land Company) chose to settle at, or become interested in developing, early Cleveland. Families that might otherwise have become residents feared the Indian frontier (literally, for a time, across the Cuyahoga River), selecting instead towns closer to Pennsylvania. For all these reasons, the place grew very slowly. In 1820, thirteen other Western Reserve towns outranked Cleveland's population of 606. In time, of course, all this changed. Walk-in-the-Water, the first steamboat on Lake Erie, stopped at Cleveland on its 1818 maiden voyage, signalling the future significance of the port of Cleveland. That future was startlingly demonstrated after 1825 with the opening of the Erie Canal and, even more so, in 1827 when the Cleveland-Akron segment of the Ohio and Erie Canal was finished.

  • The Tree with Many Names
    The Tree with Many Names Becky MacKaya and Ryan Trimbathb aVolunteer, Cuyahoga Valley National Park Contact information: [email protected] bBiologist, Cuyahoga Valley National Park 15610 Vaughn Road, Brecksville, OH 44141 September 18, 2020; updated June 9, 2021 It has been called the Peace Tree, the Indian Peace Tree, the Treaty Tree, the Pow Wow Tree, the Council Tree, the Pilgrim’s Sycamore, the Pilgerruh tree, the Moravian Sycamore, the Die Hard Tree, a Moses Cleaveland Tree, as well as a United States Bicentennial Tree. It is a historically significant American Sycamore tree within Cuyahoga Valley National Park. The tree is estimated to be between 350 and 400 years old.1-4 As a result of its long history in the Cuyahoga Valley, it is no wonder that the tree has had so many nicknames. Because there are inconsistencies and N discrepancies among various books, newspaper articles, and on-line sources with respect to the location of this tree, and even if it is still living, we spent considerable effort confirming its identity. In November 2019, we located the old sycamore tree in Cuyahoga Valley National Park at N41.363317, W81.61257, which places the tree within the boundaries of the City of Independence. As shown in Figure 1, this site is on the west side of the Riverview Road extension, about 1100 feet due north of the Pleasant Valley Road overpass. The tree is also approximately 0.1 miles west-southwest of the confluence of Tinkers Creek and the Cuyahoga River, which is an important landmark for historical context.
