Acting as an agent of the Connecticut Land
Co., Moses Cleaveland chose a site that is
now known as Settlers Landing on the East
Bank of the Flats to make landfall July 22,
1796. He believed the area ideal for shipping
access to Lake Erie. Today, the location
contains an RTA light rail station that
displays eight etched glass panels reflecting
different transportation eras designed
by Martin Boyle. The “Unity Walk” was created
for Cleveland’s Bicentennial in 1996
and includes 23 columns featuring 800
panels designed by individuals of all ages
representing Cleveland’s diversity.
