Story

When the Original Brooklyn Township was founded in 1818, its boundaries were Lake Erie to the north, Brookpark Road to the south, Cuyahoga River (crooked river) to the east and W 117th to the west. Much of the area was annexed by the City of Cleveland and our little 4 ½ square miles is what was left. It became Brooklyn Village in 1927 and the City of Brooklyn in 1950. The name Brooklyn was chosen for our village because it ‘sounded nice.” One of the names considered was Egypt since there was so much corn grown in this once thriving farming community.

Ridge Road was called the “Shunpike” around the turn of the century. Pearl Road was a toll road and to avoid paying the fee, travelers used Memphis Avenue to reach Ridge Road, which was a wooden plank road without a toll. They were shunning the pike, thus named “Shunpike.”

Brooklyn had two airports. Brooklyn Airport was on the site of the former Tops Supermarket (now Michaels Craft Store) at Ridge Park Square and Mather Airport occupied the grounds where Brookridge School is located.

The original steps from the Brooklyn Town Hall are still in the grass in front of the airplane next to City Hall and have a plaque with pertinent information. The building erected in 1902, served as the official center for Brooklyn government until 1947.

I lived there for 30 years I was arrested for a minor charge which as ultimately dismissed. I was not guilty and police conducted a very sloppy unprofessional investigation. They arrested me with no evidence at all. Put me in jail for three days in a cage! Allowed me no phone calls. No windows no privacy no clocks no tv no books or magazines. They told me they were not going to give me any favorable treatment because I am 66 years old lived there for 30 years and had never been arrested for anything. The meanest nastiness people I ever met. The police were as abusive as they could be. No reason to treat anyone that way. They refused to give me my medication and refused to give me an orthopedic pillow. They threatened me with physical abuse if I didn’t stop complaining. This jail needs to be closed I am going to make it my life work to get it closed. The police department needs reviewed to get rid of corrupt and abusive police officers
