    Olmsted 200 Bicentennial Notes about Olmsted Falls and Olmsted Township – First Farmed in 1814 and Settled in 1815 Issue 95 April 1, 2021 Contents Hamlin: He Loathed Slavery and Laid Out Olmsted Falls 1 Olmsted Falls Holds First Election 6 Poor People Found Refuge in Township Eight Decades Ago 7 Story Answers a Longtime Murder Mystery 9 Still to Come 11 Hamlin: He Loathed Slavery and Laid Out Olmsted Falls The Civil War began 160 years ago this month, but Olmsted residents had been engaged in the struggle against slavery long before Confederate forces fired on Fort Sumter on April 12, 1861. “Olmsted was decidedly anti-slavery and there were many very strong anti- slavery advocates voicing their hatred of slavery,” Walter Holzworth wrote in his 1966 book on Olmsted history. “It was a topic in Lyceums and Churches.” It also was the main topic of a weekly newspaper that started publishing from Olmsted Falls in 1846, 15 years before the Civil War began. The True Democrat was both anti-slavery and pro-Whig Party, as was its initial editor and co-founder, Edward Stowe Hamlin. He was better known for his long and varied career elsewhere in Ohio and nationally, but he was quite influential on the development of Olmsted Falls despite spending relatively little of his long life in the community. Although Hamlin was associated more with Elyria and Lorain County, records indicate he owned quite a bit of land in Olmsted Falls. An 1841 Cuyahoga County tax list shows he owned at least two pieces of Olmsted land, one covering 500 acres and one covering 125 acres.

  • 1911 Law Comes to the North Coast
    1 1800 – 1911 law comes to the north coast The Municipal Court of Cleveland heard the plea of its first defendant in 1912. The gavel fell on a new era for justice in the city, creating a new model for courts throughout the state. Before we can review the century of Municipal Court, it is important to examine the era which came before, when the community and its government were in its infancy. Prior to the creation of the municipal court, local justice was administered by the Police Court, Justices of the Peace and the Mayor’s Court. Preceding all those, as well as the advent of Common Pleas Court, statehood and the incorporation of the city, was the circuit judge. Moses Cleaveland took his first footsteps into what would become our city in July of 1796. Shortly after his party from the Connecticut Land Company started their surveying, the settlers began to arrive. The first was said to be James James Kingsbury Kingsbury and family. He was followed shortly by other prominent historical names, like Lorenzo Carter, Nathaniel Doan and David Long, the first doctor. Once the first settlers established themselves in the wilderness that was the Western Reserve, their next step was to institute a system of law and order. Using English law as the example, on August 25, 1800 at Warren, Ohio, Kingsbury was appointed 1 of 5 circuit judges to the first Court of Quarter Sessions of Trumbull County. The authority of these appointments was General Arthur St. Clair, the Territorial Governor. This court was the first formal governmental agency Lorenzo Carter established in the Western Reserve.

  • Lorenzo Carter 5/22/12
    The Man Who Saved Cleveland By Michael Roberts and Margaret Gulley Cleveland in the summer of 1797 was hot, thick with malaria and filled with perilous swamps. Creeks, rivers, ponds and the lake invited drowning. Poisonous snakes slithered across the narrow Indian trails and lurking in dense forests were the natives themselves, strange and fearful creatures to the aspiring pioneers. The winter here offered even more treachery. Snow as high as a horse’s head and packs of snarling wolves threatened travelers. The ice and wind could freeze a careless man to death before he could contemplate his demise. That fall, as the surveyors of the Connecticut Land Company prepared to return east before the harsh weather set in, only four families remained to endure winter’s wrath. The work had not gone well and the investors were upset because the land company was far behind schedule. While the city would be named after the surveying leader, Moses Cleaveland, he would never return, likely because of the trouble with the land company and the hardship of that summer. Remaining behind would be the guardian of those families and ultimately the settlement itself, Lorenzo Carter. Considered a legend even in his day, Carter was a frontiersman who, when thrust into danger and travail, always seemed to emerge and prevail. Yet today, he is barely celebrated. Time has cast a shadow on his rugged and outspoken spirit, while illuminating the more urban Moses Cleaveland. The truth is that for those first few critical years, Carter was the only thing holding the settlement together.
