About Cleveland

Cleveland has a proud history more than 200 years in the making. The city, which celebrated its bicentennial in 1996, is an amazing town with a rich historical background. "In the last two hundred years, Cleveland has grown from a small frontier outpost to one of America's major metropolitan centers. Today, with a score of reinvigorated urban neighborhoods, a newly revitalized downtown, unparalleled cultural amenities, and one of the most diverse populations in the nation, Cleveland is looked upon as a model for what can be accomplished in urban America."
--Michael R. White, Former Mayor of Cleveland
