Moses Cleaveland was sent to survey the lands of the Western Reserve of Connecticut into townships in 1796. Due to a strike; the surveyors were given plots within the new Euclid Township as part of their compensation. They sold these plots to arriving settlers from the east. Aristarkus and Sarah Brainard; the area�s first family; arrived in 1831. In 1877; the Mayfield Plank Road was constructed allowing a steady stream of people and goods to easily travel from eastern farms to markets found at Doan�s Corners in Cleveland; Ohio. As this part of Euclid Township grew; the area became Euclidville Village; later changed to Lyndhurst Village in 1920. The post�World War II building boom brought many young families to Lyndhurst and transformed the sleepy village into a charming 21st-century suburb.

Wonderful MemoriesBy Mollie WilliamsI didnt know this book existed until I saw it on a table at my Dermatologists office. I knew I had to have it! This book is set in an area where I grew up. I knew some of the early history but not to the extent that the book goes into. It was heart warming to read about the families generations ago because I went to school with many of the decendents of the early landowners. The pictures were wonderful and the stories about the people and how they worked and played together were what that community has always been about. A lovely read!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. an excellent historical bookBy Guy HarperObviously. an excellent historical book!
