Public Square has been the heart of the City of Cleveland since its founding in 1796. Laid out to be a village green, part of a settlement of the Connecticut Land Company, the Square has a unique development history as a residential hub, a civic center for public use, a commercial center, a transit hub, and now today as a mixed-use district of skyscrapers and soaring architecture.
Characters you may meet along the tour: Moses Cleaveland and Mayor Tom Johnson.
