North Olmsted is a city in Cuyahoga County. The location of the township originally belonged to Aaron Olmsted, a sea captain who obtained his wealth through trade and an initial investor in the Connecticut Land Company. His land holdings included what is now North Olmsted, Olmsted Falls and Olmsted Township.
Originally, the township was named Lenox and organized in 1823. Three years later, Aaron Olmsted’s son, Charles Hyde Olmsted desired that the township be renamed in his father’s honor and in turn he would donate several books from his father’s collection to their local library. In 1826, the township was officially renamed Olmsted Township (Dubelko, unknown year).
In 1856, the town hall was moved to the village of Olmsted Falls, which would have lasting repercussions. By the early 1900s, the residents in the northern part of the township were upset that the majority of the township’s tax dollars were spent on improvements in Olmsted Falls, neglecting the northern portion. In 1905, a bond issue failed to improve the roads in the northern part of the township. Angered by this, citizens of the southern part of Dover Township and citizens of the northern part of Olmsted Township formed North Olmsted in 1908 (Dubelko, unknown year).
Today the citizens of North Olmsted still have a fierce rivalry with Olmsted Falls.
