Euclid • Ohio

The National Cleveland-Style Polka Hall of Fame was founded in 1987 by musicians and leaders of Slovenian and ethnic organizations. The museum traces the story of the city’s home-grown sound from its roots in the old Slovenian neighborhoods to nationwide popularity with audio exhibits, historic photographs and original instruments. The archive preserves 6,000 vintage recordings, dating back to 1913.

The City of Euclid was originally a part of Euclid Township, first mapped in 1796 and named for Euclid of Alexandria, the ancient Greek mathematician. The first sparse settlement in the township began in 1798, with major settlement beginning in the spring of 1804. The first settlers in what is now the City of Euclid were Joseph and Chloe Burke, David and Mary Dille and William and Jamima Coleman, and their children. Following the Civil War the lake plain of Euclid Township was known for numerous excellent vineyards & music. Euclid Village incorporated out of the northeast portion of the township in 1903.
