Also, Cleveland is credited with being the home town of John D. Rockefeller, who, IMHO, was the greatest US businessman in history.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_D._Rockefeller
Rockefeller was born into a large family in upstate New York that moved several times before eventually settling in Cleveland, Ohio. Rockefeller became an assistant bookkeeper at age 16 and went into several business partnerships beginning at age 20, concentrating his business on oil refining. Rockefeller founded the Standard Oil Company in 1870. He ran it until 1897, and remained its largest shareholder.
Yup. I’ve read his biography be Ron Chernow.
my hubby and i were raised in Cleveland suburbs, and we had to learn about John Rockefeller/Cleveland connection from watching “the men who made America”
They never taught us about him in school. Crazy.
