Glenville is a neighborhood in the Eastern section of Cleveland, Ohio. As of 1910 it was a small village on beyond the eastern edge of Cleveland. As Cleveland grew it annexed Glenville and the area became home to workers in Cleveland's growing industrial complex. From annexation int the city until the 1940s Glenville was predominantly Jewish. Since then, however, there has been a shift and today Glenville is predominantly African-American. Glenville has since been one of Cleveland's most well known and troubled sections of the city having suffered issues pertaining to racial rioting, urban decay, and similar issues.
