The first settlers arrived around 1810 during the nations westward expansion. The village was primarily agrarian in the beginning, home to many vineyards. By the end of the 1800s, the Industrial Revolution had gained momentum, and in 1896, an electric railway was built through the city, running from Cleveland to Toledo. Bay Village evolved from a fishing and farming hamlet into a retreat and resort area for some of Clevelands wealthiest families. Many of their summer cottages still stand today as refurbished family homes. Bay Village explores this communitys rich history through vintage images from the Bay Village Historical Society and the Bay Village Library. |
