Berea, Ohio: Berea was first settled in 1809 by Jarod Hickox, who came from New England. In 1836, settlers, led by Reverend Henry O. Sheldon, gathered to choose a name for their community. Tabor and Berea, names of biblical places, were suggested and by the flip of a coin, the village became Berea. In 1842, John Baldwin, considered to be one of the towns founding fathers, discovered a rich sandstone vein near Berea. His invention of the lathe, which he used to cut stone into grindstones, soon led to Berea becoming known as the "Grindstone Capital of the World." Berea stone was shipped to build the Parliament Building in Canada and the Palmer House in Chicago. At one time there were five quarry companies operating almost one hundred acres of land and employing more than three hundred men. In 1946, the quarry industry came to an end, and the quarries were turned into parks and lakes for the enjoyment of future generations. NOW: The ARK in Berea is the Home of the Global Environmental Arts Movement . Berea continues to be a global leader in sustainable development through ICEALITY. It s also the permanent headquarters of the Cleveland Browns Training and Office Complex. The $13,000,000 facility is one of only 28 in the country, and is considered state of the art. It is the center of the First Avenue Revitalization area, which was planned to bring greater development into the city. The staff of BereaBuzz welcomes you and hopes you come back often! |
