Neighborhood Description:
Old Brooklyn is roughly bounded by Interstate 480 to the South, Ridge road to the West, the Big Creek Valley to the North, and Interstate 176 to the East. Brooklyn Township was settled in 1814 on the bluff south of the Big Creek valley, at the present intersection of Pearl and Broadview Roads. The Township was briefly known as Brighton Village and then incorporated in 1889 as the Village of South Brooklyn. South Brooklyn lost municipal status in 1905 when it was annexed to Cleveland. The area now known as Brookside Park was purchased in 1894 and became the permanent home of the Cleveland Zoo in 1908, one of the strongest assests for the area. During the late 1880\'s, the area around Schaaf Road, now known as South Hills, began to develop as one of the first in the Midwest to utilize greenhouses for the growing of vegetables. By the 1920\'s the neighborhood was one of the nation\'s leading producers of greenhouse vegetables, with over 100 acres under glass. Throughout the mid 1900\'s these areas experienced a resurgence in residential development , particularly in the South Hills and Jennings Road areas. Today, housing values in Old Brooklyn remain among the highest in Cleveland.
