Welcome to Cleveland

Welcome to Cleveland
From 1866 until 1907, the Fuller-Collins House was located in a rural neighborhood of Newburgh Township, just outside of Cleveland's Ward 18, known as "the Iron Ward," formerly a part of Newburgh annexed in 1873. In 1907, the neighborhood, which consisted of about 12 streets and 2000 people, became Corlett Village--but only for a very short period of time. Just two years after that, in 1909, at about the same time as the Dayton family was developing a residential subdivision on the three-acre parcel of land that the Fuller-Collins House had sat on since 1866, Corlett Village was annexed to Cleveland. | Source: Cleveland Public Library, Digital Newspaper Collection
