Major advancement in Cleveland’s West side
development was the growth of the railroads |
|
Cleveland's railroad era officially began on
November 3, 1849 when the Cleveland, Columbus & Cincinnati Railroad
started rolling |
|
The CC&C Railroad’s location along the
Walworth Run Valley would later assist with the west side manufacturing
development along the Train Ave. corridor. |
|
From the 1860s to the 1960s, railroads served as
the principal transporter of goods and people to and from Cleveland. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Train Ave. corridor was developed in the mid
1860’s as an industrial thoroughfare that was home to many of Cleveland’s
manufacturing industries. |
|
In 1885, Walworth Run Street was opened.
Walworth Run was named after the Walworth Family, prominent Clevelander’s. |
|
Walworth Run valley was previously used as a
dumping ground. A main sewer was built along Walworth Run to divert sewage
from the river. |
