Stockyards
The Land of Open Arms
Named for the Cleveland Union Stockyards (closed decades ago), the Stockyards neighborhood refuses to get stuck in the past. But this predominantly residential neighborhood – with a proud immigrant heritage – will never forget its roots.
The spirit of the Stockyards calls residents to welcome the most vulnerable among us. Natividad Pagan International Newcomers Academy – recently renamed to honor a beloved educator who went above and beyond in service to her students – opens its arms with a special focus on newly arrived immigrants speaking little to no English. The school inspired the Stockyards to convert and renovate vacant lots and unused spaces into new homes for the immigrant community.
Much like these newcomers, the neighborhood itself continues to move forward with eyes fixed firmly on the future.

Grit to Green
The neighborhood’s gritty industrial vibe — with architecture influenced by the diverse cultures of past residents and rows of homes built for stockyards workers — gives way to shoots of green in Brookside Reservation and West Park Cemetery.
