The written history of Cleveland began with the city's founding by General Moses Cleaveland of the Connecticut Land Company in 1796. Its central location on the southern shore of Lake Erie and the mouth of the Cuyahoga River allowed it to grow into a major trade center in the early 19th century. After the American Civil War, Cleveland grew to be a major industrial city and a gateway for European and Middle Eastern immigrants, as well as African American migrants, seeking jobs and opportunity. For most of the 20th century, Cleveland was one of America's largest cities, but after World War II, it suffered from post-war deindustrialization and suburbanization. The city has pursued a gradual recovery since the 1980s, becoming a major national center for healthcare and the arts by the early 21st century.
