Cuyahoga County has 57 incorporated entities (cities, towns, villages, or hamlets), and Cleveland is its largest.
Our civic institutions – the hospitals, libraries, orchestra, park systems and museums – are perennially ranked among the best in the world. Home to Lake Erie and 18 reservations collectively known as the Cleveland Metroparks, there is no shortage of natural beauty in Cuyahoga County.
The ambiguity lasted until the Constitutional Congress approved the "Quieting Act" in 1800, whereby Connecticut surrendered all governing authority. Shortly thereafter Arthur St. Clair, governor of the Northwest Territory, designated the Western Reserve as Trumbull County, fixing the county seat at Warren.
During the 19th century thousands of Connecticut residents, especially the young, migrated to better agricultural lands in the western part of the country; their places were taken by newcomers from Europe.
The third grant was confirmed by King Charles II on April 25 1662—upon this confirmation chiefly rested Connecticut's title to the Western Reserve. The original Conneticuit claim included all the land contained between 41°N and 42°N latitude, from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
Connecticut gave up western land claims following the American Revolutionary War in exchange for federal assumption of its debt, as did several other states.

The fire, which witnesses reported reached as high as 5 stories, began at 12 P.M. and lasted about 20 minutes before it was brought under control.
The 100-mile Cuyahoga River flows both south and north before emptying into Lake Erie at Cleveland, Ohio. This is a scant 30 miles west of its headwaters. American Indians called it “Ka-ih-ogh-ha”—crooked. This U-shaped path is due to the river's geologic history.
