** "Drafted" designates these three as Trustees.
It is curious to note throughout these old records errors of commission and omission, lack of punctuation, misspelled words and changed spelling. In spelling the name of the father, Timothy, the name "Doan" differs from that used directly below by the same clerk, where it is found "Doane," in the case of Seth, the son. Elsewhere we find "Tymothy." The use of "y" in place of the letter "i" is fairly common, as in records showing "certyficate," "qualyfied" and others. Other spellings include "Treashurery," "Cayahoga," "voats" and "voates," "sean," "sevrally,"
"Bord," "prosided," "handid," "commensing" and adjournments are recorded as "Meeting dissolved." A conception is gained by these and other quotations of the manner in which early records were kept, laboriously written out in long hand with many flourishes.
EARLY SETTLERS
S
ETH DOAN, the son, came to Cleveland in 1797. Timothy Doan, the father, followed with his family to settle in Euclid Township in 1801. Nathaniel Doan, younger brother of Timothy, was one of the pioneers in settling Cleveland Township, a member of Cleaveland's party of Surveyors. He established his home at East 107th Street and Euclid Avenue, a log affair replaced in 1817 by a Tavern erected by his son Job.
The early settlers built their homes well south of the lakefront, both in Cleveland and Euclid. The "Flats" of Cleveland along the Cuyahoga River banks, and the area adjoining the shore of Lake Erie throughout Euclid were dank and swampy. Fever was prevalent and mosquitoes a scourge. The southern shore of Lake Erie has receded, geologists have found, from about Euclid Avenue to the present lakefront. There have been at least five different beaches, upon one of which stands Noble School.
EARLY ROADS AND TRAILS
C UYAHOGA COUNTY and particularly the mouth of the Cuyahoga River was a focal point in the migrations of the Red Man. His path along the south shore of Lake Erie was the princi- pal trail in Cuyahoga County, and is identified by Euclid Avenue and the Detroit-West Lake Roads throughout their major portions. This path ran from Detroit and Toledo West to Erie and Buffalo East, and is known as the "Shore Path" of the Red Man. It was the most important of all the Indian paths.
Next in importance was the "Salt Springs Path" which led from the "Shore Path" to Salt Springs. It is identified by Ontario-Woodland Avenue to East 55th Street, then across Kingsbury Run valley diagonally to the heights of Newburgh, to Miles Avenue and Aurora Roads passing be- tween Geauga Lake and Aurora Pond on to Warren and Niles.

ORIGINAL BOUNDARIES
THE original eastern boundary line of Euclid Township extended from Lake Erie, following a straight line southward approximately one-half mile west of the present Cuyahoga-Lake County line for a distance of 7.8 miles to Cedar Road. The southern boundary followed the line of Cedar Road westward exactly five miles. From this point the westward boundary followed northward for a distance of 4.3 miles, approximating East 140th Street and the lakefront, now in Bratenahl. The Northern boundary followed the southern shore of Lake Erie, connecting the two points at the lake edge.
Neighboring townships had been laid out in areas five miles square each, excepting Cleve- land. Directly to the east of Euclid lay Mayfield Township; to the south, Warrensville Township, and to the west Cleveland.
Divisions of boundaries were roughly de- termined by terms similar to "near the saltworks," "Young's Sawmill" and "Gray's Hill."
EARLY RECORDS
FUCLID'S first industry likely was "the salt- works." It is believed to have been located on the east side of Lloyd Road north of Lake Shore Boulevard about one-third of the distance between the thoroughfare and beach. At least there was a saltwell on a half-acre tract at this location, which in later years was used by farmers for grazing, and without apparent ownership. It had no right of way from either thoroughfare, and was acquired by the State of Ohio in 1907 in lieu of taxes.
"Gray's Hill" was likely Chardon Road hill. We know a Gray family of early settlers lived on Euclid Avenue, and since tracts throughout the area were a hundred acres each, it is reasonable to assume that since the homestead was quite near this point, it was the particular hill so desig- nated.

I' TN 1797 Jefferson County was carved out of a vast area east of the Cuyahoga River known as Washington County, and for the first three years the new settlement of Euclid was in this newly detached district. Trumbull County and Euclid were then detached from Jefferson, and Euclid remained a part of Trumbull until 1807. Geauga County in that year was detached from Trumbull, and Euclid was a part of the Geauga district until 1810, when Cuyahoga County was formed. Included also was Willoughby, which remained a part of Cuyahoga County until 1840.
The part west of the Cuyahoga River had been included in Wayne County in 1796, with Detroit, Michigan, as the County Seat. The Village of Detroit was incorporated at Chillicothe, Ohio, in 1802. Wayne County included the vast area ex- tending from the Cuyahoga River to the head- waters of all streams flowing into Lake Michigan.
For many years the sons of Connecticut farmers sought homes in the Western Reserve, and seek- ing to avoid fever and scourge, built on higher ground.
The population of Cleveland in 1810 has been given as fifty-seven. In 1814 it had only thirty- four dwelling houses and places of business, a population of less than seventy, and covered an area of only three-quarters of a square mile. In 1820 it is given at 350.
No population figures for Euclid seem available on those dates, but since the records of the Con- necticut Land Company called for forty-one families in 1799, and in 1815 poll records of Euclid show a vote of forty-two qualified electors, it is safe to assume that Euclid was quite a bit larger in 1815 than Cleveland.
The chief port of the Western Reserve, however, grew far more rapidly in its subsequent years, beginning with the advent of the Canal in 1827. Cleveland's population in 1830 was 1000, and in 1840 was 6,071. In contrast, Euclid's polled vote on October 31, 1828 was 169, and on November 4, 1836 was but 285.
A farming community, it remained so until the passing of the grape growers to make way for industry in about 1914. Interesting sidelights of the early days of the Township are reflected in the prices of public road work determined at a Trustees Meeting on April 20, 1817, "as follows (to wit)
For a yoke of oxen and chain 50c per day
For oxen and plow 75c per day
For oxen and scraper 6212c per day
An allowance for bridges reads "to be laid out in building bridges on State Road (Mayfield) East of Wm Stebbins Five Dollars", recorded on March 2, 1829. Constable Wm. S. Chapman sub- mitted a bill "for notifying Artemus Pringle

Pringle had been notified to appear "to be ap- pointed by the uplifted hand" for the duties of Highway Supervisor. Prices for building road scrapers was set at "Two Dollars for each district." Taxes were paid in corn liquor, whiskey, flour, oats, barley, cows, pigs and other livestock.
Upon complaint "by sundry freeholders" that widows and children might become Township wards, the Overseers of the Poor were directed to notify anyone complained against to "remove and depart forthwith." Orphans were "bound out" to farmers until they were of legal age, which in the case of boys was reached at the twenty- first year and in that of girls at the eighteenth year. At that time they were to be given "a bible and two common suits of clothes." In these actions, however, the Trustees merely were follow- ing out the laws of Ohio, and undoubtedly would have been criticized severly had they not done so.
Early farming included wheat, corn, oats, barley, butter, cheese and some maize, while fruits included apples, pears, grapes and berries. The subsoil was especially good for the growing of grapes, however, and while Euclid remained agrarian until about 1914, following the Civil War it was renowned as a grape growing center.
TRANSPORTATION
C OMMERCE was served by the Cleveland, Painesville and Ashtabula Railroad. One early means of transportation was by rowboat, the first to replace the canoe. Euclid settlers visit- ing Cleveland would follow Euclid Creek to Lake Erie, and then follow the shore route to the Cuya- hoga River. From Ashtabula east connecting with what became the New York Central Lines was the Ashtabula and Buffalo Railroad. West of Cleveland was served by the Cleveland and Toledo Railroad. Each line was owned by an independent group. In 1852 the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern was organized as a combina- tion of these three. This was the forerunner of the New York Central Lines West, which about the same time acquired a 999 year lease on the Cleveland, Columbus, Chicago and St. Louis Railroad, known as the Big Four.
How important to Euclid's growth this combina- tion was to become was not recognized until years later. About thirty years after, or in 1881- 82, rights were acquired by the Gould interests, the Vanderbilt's bitterest enemies in the trans- portation field, for the N.Y.C. and St. L. R.R. or

the Nickel Plate. Former Senator Brice, of Ohio, played an important part. Two versions of the origin of the name "Nickel Plate" are given. It was charged at the time the right of way was ac- quired solely for the purpose of forcing the New York Central to absorb the new line. In com- menting upon it an Editor Loomis, of a Norwalk newspaper, is said to have called it a "nickel- plated affair." Gould is supposed to have said in commenting upon the cost it "couldn't have cost this much if it had been nickelplated."

CENSUS FIGURES
THE first recorded census of Euclid was taken T .1880. The figure was 500. The next, in 1910, was 1953. In 1920 the official figure was 3363. Euclid in 1930 had 12,751 residents and the latest in 1940 gives a population of 17,538. Some doubt is felt about the accuracy of the last census taken, and this doubt is somewhat sup- ported by the election figures of November 7th, 1940, when a total of 8,828 votes were cast in the Roosevelt-Willkie presidential election.
FORMERLY GRAPE CENTER
B Y THE close of the 19th Century, Euclid was known for the quality of grapes grown on its soil. While Concords were in the majority, they in- cluded numerous types, both white and red. Acres of land was devoted almost exclusively to this industry. One of the largest vineyards was that of Schuster's; others being Isaac Newton's, covering the entire area now known as Eastlawn; H. M. Frissell's, a Civil War veteran who bought directly from the Connecticut Land Company; Lilly Bros., four brothers whose vineyards were at Lilly's-on-the-Lake, and Crozier's. Newton's old winery has since been remodeled into the Utopia Beach Club House. Newton's old packing house stood at the present site of an apartment build- ing, East 200th Street and Fuller Avenue.
While the last of the vineyards did not dis- appear until the '20's, their doom was spelled with the arrival of industry in 1914.
Nevertheless, Euclid was still a grape growing center when it was Incorporated as a Village in 1903. From twenty-five to twenty-eight cars of grapes left daily during the season over the Nickel Plate Railroad alone. Baskets stamped "Euclid, O." were being sold as far west as Den- ver, Colorado, at ten cents each. Growers finally were receiving four cents a basket, from which they paid two cents for the basket and one cent to the pickers. Vineyards were being operated at a loss.
INDUSTRIAL BEGINNINGS
A GRARIAN from 1797 until 1914, although in the later years it was developing residen- tially, industry began to recognize the natural ad- vantages it offered. Level ground, good subsoil and underlying shale-rock meant little grading and firm foundations. Adjoining a growing in- dustrial center of diversified nature, it had an ex- cellent labor supply. Two trunkline railroads and three important highways solved transportation. An excellent water-supply and sewage system, with gas, electric and telephone utilities, and an interurban electric transportation system for workers, Euclid found industry interested. E. F.

Meanwhile let's look back at the records of 1903:
"On February 17, 1903, the Board of Trustees of Euclid Township met this day, pursuant to a call by the Presi- dent of said Board. Present: Schroeder, Waters, Sulzer and L. Harms, Clerk.
"The object of this meeting to complete the duties of said Board in regard to the incorporation of the Village of Euclid and to transact such other business as may appear.
