On July 4th 1796 the Connecticut Land Company sent out a search party to find new land. General Moses Cleaveland headed this search party, and on July 22nd of 1796 they found their new land, naming it Cleaveland after the leader of the search party.

The beginning of the population was predominately white. In 1800 the population of Cleaveland was what now would be an unheard of 7.
