Roll With The Changes


How about a little history lesson? Cleveland was discovered by Moses Cleaveland in 1796. (Well, maybe not discovered...) He came out to the Western Reserve of Connecticut, surveyed the new settlement, then went home two months later, never to return. The residents were so ticked off, they changed the spelling of the name. Well, at least part of that is true, I'll leave it to you to decide which parts. (The Indians are on a winning streak, so Moses is wearing a hat in the statue above.) As for the picture below, the reason for the change from the original Twinsburgh to today's Twinsburg remains a mystery to me.
