Course Description

From the establishment of the city’s first foundry in 1828 to the current ranking of Cleveland-Cliffs as the largest flat-rolled steel maker in North America, Cleveland has been an important industrial and manufacturing center for nearly 200 years. But while iron and steel largely defined the city’s early industrial history, Cleveland has also been a national leader in automobile manufacturing, oil refining, paints and coatings, aviation, shipbuilding, machine tools and electrical equipment. This course will explore the history of Cleveland’s industries through good times and bad, the beginnings of the nation’s iron and steel industry, the city’s key role in wartime production during World War II, and the wrenching transition from an industrial-age manufacturing behemoth to today’s advanced manufacturing sector. Meet the leaders who built Cleveland’s industries and trace the development of the city’s great manufacturing companies.
