Cleveland sits on the southern shore of Lake Erie and historically served as a major industrial and shipping center within the Great Lakes region. Its growth in the 19th and early 20th centuries was driven by steel production, manufacturing, and lake-based transportation networks linking the Midwest to eastern markets.
The city has since transitioned toward healthcare, education, and service industries. Redevelopment along the waterfront and investment in cultural institutions have reshaped its economic base while maintaining its identity as a key regional port and logistics center.
