History
Construction of many single family homes in the Euclid Heights Neighborhood can be traced back to the 1920's during the Citys land boom. Some of these beautiful homes are still gracing the neighborhood. Construction has occurred on most of the neighborhoods subdivisions during every decade since the land boom.
Centrally located in the neighborhood is the Roberts Recreation Center which was built in 1958 on land donated to the City by Robert W. Roberts widow. Mr. Roberts was a local businessman and philanthropist. In 1974, the City expanded the facility by acquiring property west of the center and building the Robert Adult Center. The Center located at 1246 - 50th Avenue North offers adult classes, after school and summer programs for children, an athletic field and playground.
