Lake County Ohio GenWeb

Some of the Farms That Made Lake County Famous

Each entry below has a paragraph in the original 1915 New Century Atlas of Lake County, Ohio. This atlas has been microfilmed and is available from the Family History Library: FHL US/CAN Film 877767 Item 2.

An original color copy has been at Morley Library, but it is in such fragile condition that it cannot be copied. The paragraphs include information about the size and location of the farm, the crops, buildings, water supply. They usually include the owner’s address, and occasionally some other information about the family. Previous owners, spouses or family members may be mentioned. Some of the farms were “summer homes” of Cleveland residents, and many other owners did not live on these farms at all.
