North Royalton
The first settler arrived at an area of land known as Township 5, Range 13 in 1811. Five years later, more settlers arrived, and in 1818 the area was named Royalton. By the late 1800s, the township had grown to become one of the leading dairy towns in the county. As more businesses, roads, and homes were built, it became a village in 1927, and North Royalton officially became a city in 1961. Nicknamed the "City of Hills and Valleys," North Royalton is full of interesting history. The first town hall was built by a blind man, who was subsequently appointed to the position of fence viewer for the township. The town was also home to a Revolutionary War veteran who lived to be 117 years old. Some of the homes in Royalton were said to have been part of the Underground Railroad. Early stories tell of graves that were never moved to the new cemetery and are still under the Village Green today. North Royalton has developed from a dairy center to a vibrant area with a strong focus on community and education.
