When surveyors began to lay out proposed roads, they followed already established Indian trails. The intersection of what is now Mayfield and Green roads was the intersection of two Indian trails and was called South Euclid by early settlers. Today, the city of South Euclid is primarily a residential community of owner occupied single-family homes. The city is home to three retail shopping centers, a branch of the Cuyahoga County Public Library and a variety of churches and synagogues. Ninety-eight percent of the city's 4.67 square miles is developed and 40 acres of land are dedicated to city parks.
Programs are of historical significance and all are welcome to attend.
