Streets

Streets started out a dirt roads, then well-travelled roads needed some sort of covering to make them more easily passable during wet weather. Pearl Street has been referred to in some old deeds as Plank Road, so it is likely that an attempt was made to use wooden boards or logs to make a road surface. Further improvements included the use of a base of small stones, and then later, bricks, and later still, asphalt.

Street Names

If you ever wondered how some streets came to be named what they were, in many cases, streets were named for the property owner or for a member of their family.

Many street names were lost forever in 1906 when the city of Cleveland decided to rename all north-south running streets with numbers.
