At long last, a well documented scholarly work on the history of West Park including the early history of Rockport Township. If you live or work in West Park, used to live or work in West Park, or plan to live or work in West Park then this book is for you. What challenges did the early settlers face? Why did Lakewood develop so early? What role did the Rocky River play in settlement and development? Why did West Park decide to join Cleveland and was it the right decision? Did you know before the “revenue enhancement program” in Linndale there was an even more notorious one in Riveredge Township? Did you know that West Park existed as a political entity for only 10 years? Did you know that rattlesnakes lived here? These and hundreds of other questions are answered in the best local history book seen in many years. This 320 page work features 350 photographs, 48 maps and diagrams, and an extensive bibliography assuring that this will become the standard reference work for the area for many years to come. A few of the photos from the book can be viewed HERE Proceeds from this book go to our Endowment Fund described elsewhere on this website. The Author, Ralph Pfingsten, is a John Marshall Graduate, former JMH Faculty, and JMH Hall of Fame Nominee.
