history
Benjamin Fitch from Connecticut was the first settler in the area in 1813. John Dunham came in 1817 and built a path where Dunham Road now runs. After the section of the Ohio and Erie Canal between Cleveland and Akron was opened on July 4, 1827 , this road provided easy access to the canal. This meant a further boost for the area. A station of the Cleveland & Pittsburgh Railroad was opened here in 1849, followed by the Connotton Valley Railroad in 1881 . The Akron, Bedford & Cleveland Interurban Line was the first of the electrified suburban lines that enabled the development of Cleveland's suburbs in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. She drove from 1895 to 1932.
In July 1915, Maple Heights became an independent parish in the north-western part of Bedford Township. The rapidly growing community in the suburb of Cleveland became a city in the early 1930s , like the neighboring towns of Garfield Heights or Bedford Heights . Maple Heights has had city status since January 1, 1932.
education
The city's public education system includes six schools. There are Maple Heights High School and Milkovich Middle School, as well as Dunham Elementary , Raymond Elementary , Rockside Elementary, and Stafford Elementary elementary schools . The primary schools only have to offer certain grade levels, so that the peers are grouped together in one building and change schools after two school years. The planned gradual construction of several new schools by the city will help here.
