Brecksville

"The City of Brecksville was founded in 1811. It was incorporated as a village under the laws of the State of Ohio in 1921 and attained City status in 1960 by virtue of its population exceeding 5,000. It is located in Cuyahoga County in northeastern Ohio, in the heart of rolling woodlands approximately fifteen miles south of the City of Cleveland. The City covers 19.54 square miles. In the year 2010 the U.S. Census Bureau reported that Brecksville had a population of 13,656, up from13,382 in 2000. Brecksville’s wooded hills and ravines that lace the area help define its neighborhoods. As a result, every resident is close to natural beauty that has always been a hallmark of Brecksville living. Many neighborhoods are located next to the Brecksville Reservation of the Cleveland Metroparks and the 33,000 acre Cuyahoga Valley National Park. Brecksville is unique among Cuyahoga County communities because one-third of the City is park land." -The City of Brecksville
