Description

For just about two centuries, the historic Tremont neighborhood has rested on a bluff overlooking Cleveland’s industrial valley. The sleepy farming community was once transformed in 1867, when Cleveland annexed it. Factories attracted thousands of emigrants from Europe, and industrialization gave upward thrust to a class of rich businessmen. After town prospered as a manufacturing center all the way through World War II, deindustrialization and suburbanization fueled an enormous population loss, and the neighborhood declined as highways cut through. The 1980s marked the start of the rebirth of the cultural treasure Tremont become. Writer W. Dennis Keating chronicles the challenges and triumphs of this diverse and vibrant community.
