Cuyahoga River
The Cuyahoga River ( , or ) is a river located in Northeast Ohio that bisects the City of Cleveland and feeds into Lake Erie. As Cleveland emerged as a major manufacturing center, the river became heavily affected by industrial pollution, so much so that it caught fire at least 14 times, most famously on June 22, 1969, helping to spur the American environmental movement. Since then, the river has been extensively cleaned up through the efforts of Cleveland's city government and the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (OEPA). In 2019, the American Rivers conservation association named the Cuyahoga "River of the Year" in honor of "50 years of environmental resurgence". Etymology The name ''Cuyahoga'' is believed to mean "crooked river" from the Mohawk name ''Cayagaga'', although the Mohawk were never in the region alongside European settlers, so this explanation is questionable. Children in the area are usually taught that it comes from a Seneca word for "jawbone". This explan ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
