West Park
West Park, for early settler, John West, was originally part of Rockport Township . It was annexed to Cleveland in 1922, the last large suburb to become part of the city. It occupies a 12.5 sq. mi. area between W. 117th St. to the Rocky River Valley and from Lakewood's southern boundaries to Interstate 480. This neighborhood presently encompasses the statistical planning areas of Kamm's Corners, Jefferson, Puritas-Longmead, and Riverside. The southern part of Riverside is mostly land annexed by Cleveland from Brook Park in 1947 and 1995 when the city expanded Cleveland Hopkins International Airport into the territory.
