Slavic Village

Slavic Village was once part of Newburgh Township before being annexed into Cleveland in 1867.  Its name is derived from the original Czech and Polish immigrants who arrived to work in the steel factories and woolen mills.   The area has some classic century homes and is also home to Mill Creek Falls, one of the largest single-family housing development projects built in the City of Cleveland in more than 50 years.
