Glenville is a neighborhood located east of the city of Cleveland in the state of Ohio. The district was born in 1870 as an independent city… it did not really become a district of the city of Cleveland until 1904. In its early days the neighborhood was considered a dormitory equivalent to a hotel village that served Cleveland’s affluent population. There was a racetrack where there were trotting races, as well as car, cycling or athletics races, and the famous Cleveland Country Club. 

Once a small village, serving primarily as a resort community for Upper Middle Class residents of Cleveland. For more than half a century Glenville (after World War II) Glenville has been the most visible example of poverty and crime in Cleveland because of racism.

In the early 21st century, Glenville attracted media attention thanks to the high school football team that quickly became one of the best-known programs in Ohio and North America.

Today, Glenville is predominantly African-American and is once again a residential area thanks to the financial investment that has been made by private companies.
