Euclid Avenue traverses the east side of Cleveland and connects its two largest employment centers, downtown and University Circle. Along the way it passes through 7 distinct neighborhoods and districts. While these communities have changed over the years, a significant amount of their cultural history has remained. Places of worship, civic institutions, and neighborhood strongholds have survived many waves of transformation. Along with the institutional and built resources of the neighborhoods, residents and community members continue to shape and define their corner of the city.
Public Square
Laid out in 1796 in the tradition of the New England village green, Public Square marked the center of the Connecticut Land Company's plan for Cleveland. Since 1861, when it was renamed Monumental Park for the statue of Battle of Lake Erie hero Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry, Public Square has served as a site of public memory.
