About Cleveland

Cleveland ( KLEEV-lənd), officially the City of Cleveland, is a major city in the U.S. state of Ohio and the county seat of Cuyahoga County. Located in the Northeastern part of the state, the city is situated along the southern shore of Lake Erie, across the U.S. maritime border with Canada and approximately 60 miles (100 kilometers) west of the Ohio-Pennsylvania state border. The largest city on Lake Erie and one of the major cities of the Great Lakes region, Cleveland anchors one of the most populous metropolitan areas in the United States. Politically, the metro area is the most reliably Democratic in Ohio; the current mayor is Justin Bibb (D). Cleveland is the center of both the Greater Cleveland Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) and the Cleveland–Akron–Canton Combined Statistical Area (CSA).
