History[]

Mayfield Heights was initially built up as a streetcar suburb of Cleveland.[8] It was incorporated as a village in 1925 and as a city in 1951.[9] The city derives its name from Mayfield Township, now defunct.[10] One location in the city, the W.A.

The city has a large community of Italian Americans, including newly-arrived immigrants and those who migrated eastward along Mayfield Road from Little Italy on Cleveland's East Side.[12] Since the dissolution of the USSR in 1991, they have been joined by a significant number of immigrants from Russia and other former Soviet republics.[13][14]
