Over the centuries; Euclid Creeks torrents have drilled through bluestone and shale; carving deep gorges in a gentle landscape. Modes of transport have always guided human life in the watershed. Early Native Americans trekked the creeks gorge rims to form an extensive trail network. In 1796; Moses Cleavelands survey crew named "the big crick" Euclid; in honor of the inventor of survey mathematics. As early settlers arrived; they turned the Indian trails into county roads and used the creek to power saw and grist mills. By the 1850s; steam railroads took Euclid Creek wine and bluestone to distant markets. In 1896; electrified rails gave impetus for summer resorts and country estates. By 1920; automobiles were ferrying suburbanites to Tudor side streets. Now; Interstate highways funnel exurbanites into shopping centers. Framed in the history of transport; Euclid Creek tells the story of this Great Lake tributary stream and her many different communities. Euclid Creek is a unique history of the Great Lake tributary stream and her many different communities.
