Founded in 1796 near the mouth of the Cuyahoga River and close to Lake Erie, the city quickly became an important manufacturing center. During the War of 1812, Cleveland provided supplies for the U.S. Army while they fought the Battle of Lake Erie. In the early 1900s, industrial jobs attracted a wave of immigrants from southern and eastern Europe, Ireland, and the South. Cleveland is the perfect city for everyone, from sports fans to people who appreciate art. Cheer on the Indians at Progressive Field or watch the Browns at FirstEnergy Stadium. In 2016, the Cavaliers became the first Cleveland team to win a major professional sports championship since 1964.
