Broadview Heights was officially incorporated as a village on December 17, 1926 after a petition and an election among residents of the western portion of Brecksville Township. [7] In 1927, Floyd C.

In 1998, Recreation and Human Services moved to the Thorin Building, and City Hall was moved onto the campus in 1999. Buildings on the campus also came to be used by the police department and other local organizations. In 2018, the city renovated and added on to the recreation center by adding new basketball courts, a new work out area, and a new pool. [9]
