Euclid Township
Euclid, originally Euclid Township is city in Cuyahoga County. Euclid is named after the Greek mathematician, Euclid. Euclid was settled in 1796, founded as a civil township in 1809, then became an incorporated village in 1903 and finally attained city status in 1930 (Daniel, 1958, p. 43).
William Coleman, an early settler of Euclid was credited and proved that fish taken from Lake Erie could be preserved with salt. Charles Brush was credited with perfecting the electric dynamo and invented the arc lamp in 1876.
The American Mineralogist (1935, p. 462) reported that gypsum crystals (which were referred to as selenite) were found as penetration twins and thin crystals along the cliffs bordering Lake Erie at Euclid. Gerald Greene (1937, p. 273) an early Cleveland Mineralogical Society member also reported gypsum crystals from this locality as well.
Today there has been quite a lot development and slope stabilization along the lake shore and most of the “cliffs” have either been eroded or reinforced with armor stone to prevent further erosion. Access to the lake shore along Lake Erie in Euclid is on private property.
