Histori
"Greenbriar" (1806-1826)
In 1806, the area that would eventually become Parma and Parma Heights was initially surveyed by Abraham Tappan, a surveyor for the Connecticut Land Company, and is known as Township 6 - Range 13. This assignment gives the city's first identity in the Western Reserve.. Soon thereafter, Township 6 - Range 13 is commonly referred to as "Greenbriar," which is said to be the rambling bushes that grew there. Benajah Fay, his wife, Ruth Wilcox Fay, and their ten children, a resident from Lewis County, New York, were the first settlers in 1816. That's when Greenbriar, under the newly organized seat of government under Brooklyn City, began to present itself. government needs.
Parma City (1826-1924)
Self-government began to grow in popularity as Greenbriar's new settlement contained twenty householders. However, before the formation of a new township, the name Greenbriar was replaced with the name Parma. This is mostly because of Dr. David Long who had just returned from Italy and was "impressed by the splendor and beauty... reminded of Parma, Italy, and... persuaded the early townspeople that the region deserves a better name than Greenbriar."
Thus, on March 7, 1826, an approved resolution ordered the construction of a new city. It states,
- "On the petition of the resident population for a new township to be organized and established consisting of No. 6 in the 13th ranks Ordered that Township No. 6 in the 13th ranks be initiated and built into new township. by the name of Parma, to be limited by the original line of the mentioned City. "
On the same day, public notice was issued to eligible voters by County Commissioners. They met at Samuel Freeman's house on April 3, 1826 to elect city officials according to law. It was then that eleven first officers were elected to lead a new government.
During this time, the city of Parma remained largely agricultural. The first school building is a wooden beam structure built on a hill in the northern corner of what is now Parma Heights Cemetery. The warning plate on the rock marked the place. In 1827, the municipality was divided into street districts. Broadview Road today became known as the Path of the City of Path and the Road of Independence. Ridge Road is known later as Center Road as it cuts through downtown. York Road became known as York Street as a resident of New York state who settled there. Pearl Road then has many names that include Medina Wooster Pike, Wooster Pike, Cleveland Columbus Road, and Brighton and Parma Plank Road.
The stone house, built in 1849 and known as the Henninger House, is occupied by several generations of Henninger and still stands today. The house is located at one of the higher points in Cuyahoga County, which provides visibility for the entire northeast part of Parma Township. It's also the same site where Indian Erie, centuries before, stood up to read and send fire signals and pray to their spirits.
In 1850, the US census recorded the population of Parma City at 1332. However, the increase in municipal populations has been slowing for decades. The Civil War affected Parma as well as other cities and villages in the country. Three of the four houses sent fathers, sons, or sometimes both, to fight in war. In 1910, the municipal population increased to 1,631.
In 1911, Parma Heights, due to the atmosphere of simplicity that day, broke away from Parma City after a 42 to 32 vote and was included as a village of 4.13 square miles.
- "The main reason for setting up Parma Heights village is getting marshal towns... There is one saloon in the area... some pretty rough crowds on Sunday have disrupted the serenity of the environment... want it closed on the day Sunday to do this they hope a city marshal.They can not have marshal town without being a village, so they become one. "
Parma Village (1924-1930)
In 1920, the US census showed Parma Township had a population of only 2,345, but the next decade proved to be a significant growth and development time for Parma. In the 1920s the city of Parma changed from agricultural community to village. On December 15, 1924, Parma was included as a village.
The largest and fastest growing development of the time was the development of Ridgewood Gardens H. A. Stahl, which began in 1919, continued into the 1920s, and entered the 1930s. A resident of Shaker Heights, Ohio's first State Park, HA Stahl developed Ridgewood as an ambitious model village project modeled along the lines and rivaling the previous Shaker Heights project with "church, school, cinema, community house, and others. all well-developed residential communities. " Ridgewood is designed and marketed as Park City on 1,000 acres of land to accommodate about 40,000 residents "325 meters above Lake Erie, in the healthiest part of the South Side, free of industrial smoke, or congestion and noise from the nearer passage. "
Parma City (1931-present)
On January 1, 1931, Parma became a city with a population of 13,899. While the merger of Parma village was greeted with much optimism, the newly established city of Parma faced the Great Depression uncertainty that almost completely halted its growth. Money is scarce, tax revenues are limited, and some start talking about the annexation of the city and school district to Cleveland. However, both annexation issues were well defeated as Parma voters strongly opposed them and silenced proponents of annexation. Not long after this, Parma was once again a solvent due in large part to the newly created Gallagher Act and the determination of Parma Auditor Sam Nowlin. In 1941, a building boom was apparently under way in Parma just as the United States would enter World War II.
After World War II, Parma once again began to experience tremendous growth as young families began to move from Cleveland to the suburbs. Between 1950 and 1960, the population of Parma jumped from 28,897 to 82,845. In 1956, Parma was unrivaled as the fastest growing city in the United States. The population peaked in 1970 at 100.216.
Today, the Parma population has reached 81,601, although it remains one of three major destinations in Cleveland. Young adults (aged 22 to 34) are increasingly choosing residence, along with Lakewood and downtown Cleveland and by 2016 have been recognized by Businessweek as one of the best places to raise children in Ohio.

The opening credits of the Drew Carey Show in its first season consisted of a caricature of Drew Carey - consisting of his face and a yellow tie - singing the song "Moon Over Parma" by Robert McGuire. The song was trimmed for the opening sequence, and a reference to Eastlake in the line "Guide him to Eastlake under your silvery light" was turned into a reference to Cleveland to stay on the theme with the show.
- The moon above Parma brings my love to me tonight.
- Lead him to Eastlake, under your silvery light.
- We met at Ashtabula, he was doing hula.
- I handed my turnips and promised my love that night.
- The moon above Parma, will not you bring my love to me?
- Clean on the freeway and guide the AMC.
- Get him past the radar's Mounties, take him to Lake County,
- Moon in Parma, tonight.
- The moon above Parma shines on I-271.
- We can not get together in warm sunlight.
- I said you did not fail. Get him safely through Linndale,
- I can not go to Parma because my Edsel will not run.
- The moon above Parma, where the pink flamingo bird stands up.
- I need a kiss and a soft touch from her hand. We're leaving, so do not lose him in Solon.
- Moon in Parma, tonight. I say tonight.
