Farming in the Cuyahoga Valley is representative of farming across the Midwestern frontier. The lands straddle a waterway, the Cuyahoga River, which first brought settlers, and then provided an outlet for their agricultural produce. Two cities, Cleveland and Akron, sprang up on the northern and southern ends of the valley. As they grew, farmers adapted their work to meet the changing demands of the urban centers. Improved transportation systems, the Civil War, the rise of industry, and the nineteenth century transition of agriculture from a family effort to a business and a science, were all positive forces which altered the nature of the profession and enabled farmers to improve their standard of living. - NPS
