Cleveland, briefly
Nine things that started here
- 1879
The first city of light
On 29 April, Charles Brush switched on twelve arc lamps on Public Square, making it the first public space in America lit by electricity. His company was soon supplying eighty per cent of the street lights in the country.
- 1912
Life Savers, invented here
Clarence Crane, a Cleveland chocolatier and father of the poet Hart Crane, punched holes in a summer mint because chocolate kept melting on him. He sold the formula the next year for $2,900.
- 1914
The first electric traffic light
Red and green went up at Euclid Avenue and East 105th Street on 5 August, to a design by James Hoge. Every intersection you have ever waited at traces back to that corner.
- 1930
Terminal Tower
When it topped out, it was the tallest building in North America outside New York City — and it held that title for thirty-four years, until 1964.
- 1938
Superman is a Cleveland kid
Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster dreamed him up as teenagers in Glenville. Metropolis has always been a little bit Cleveland.
- 1952
Where rock and roll got its name
DJ Alan Freed popularised the phrase on Cleveland radio, and his Moondog Coronation Ball at the Cleveland Arena is generally counted as the first rock concert. That is why the Hall of Fame sits on the lakefront.
- 1969
The river that caught fire
The Cuyahoga burned at least a dozen times, but the June 1969 fire made national news and helped push through the EPA and the Clean Water Act. Today there are kayakers and rowing crews on the same water.
- Today
Second only to Lincoln Center
Playhouse Square is the largest performing arts centre in the country after New York, with the world’s largest outdoor chandelier hanging over Euclid Avenue.
- Every winter
Why the forecast above is so moody
Lake Erie is the shallowest of the Great Lakes, so it warms and cools fast, freezes over most winters, and throws lake-effect snow onto the Snow Belt east of town. The west side can stay clear while Chardon disappears.
