This is an 1855 adaptation of the first plan of Cleveland, and a map labeled “Original Plan of the Town and Village of Cleaveland, Ohio, October 1st, 1796.” You can clearly see Public Square in the center. It seems upside down because Lake Erie is at bottom. 📸 @Cleveland_PL
@CLEPublicSquare @Cleveland_PL @CityofCleveland @happyincle @DowntownCLE @western_society @CleCityCouncil @CuyahogaCounty Wonder why they never planned a Michigan Street? @Cleveland_PL @CLEhistorical
@CLEPublicSquare @Cleveland_PL @CityofCleveland @happyincle @DowntownCLE @western_society @CleCityCouncil @CuyahogaCounty I live over in that tree. Glad the plan expanded to both sides of the river and it only took bridge tolls and a very local war to make it happen!

@CLEPublicSquare @Cleveland_PL @CityofCleveland @happyincle @DowntownCLE @western_society @CleCityCouncil @CuyahogaCounty Why didn't we build our city on both sides of the river like in Rome or Paris? Instead we have the industrial flats, so the river isn't part of the city.
