Cudell is a neighborhood on the West Side of Cleveland, Ohio. Named after Frank E. Cudell, the neighborhood has been a part of Cleveland since 1904, upon the completion of municipal annexation of the land by the city.[2]

For Cleveland City Council, the Cudell neighborhood is split between the 11th[3] and 15th[4] wards, and is represented jointly by council members Danny Kelly and Jenny Spencer.

History

Cudell is located on land which was originally the property of Franklin Reuben Elliott, a horticulturalist and fruit farmer.[5][6] The land changed ownership multiple times before being purchased by Frank E. Cudell, an architect whose firm designed multiple buildings in Cleveland, including apartment buildings on W. 99th St.[7]

Cudell also deeded a portion of land along West Blvd. to the city which was used as a public park and eventually became home to Cudell Recreation Center. Today, the Cudell Tower, a memorial to Cudell from his wife, stands on the site of Cudell’s estate near the recreation center in an area known as Cudell Commons.[8][9]

Throughout the 20th century, Cudell was a working class neighborhood populated by workers from nearby factories.[10][11] Cudell’s population peaked at roughly 17,600 in 1940.[12] In the 1960s, Interstate 90 was constructed, isolating the southern portion of the neighborhood.[13][14]

In 2014, Cudell Recreation Center was the site of the shooting of Tamir Rice.[15]

As of 2021, Cudell had a population of 9,960.[1] Cudell is a racially diverse neighborhood. As of 2021, the population was 46.8% white, 32.3% black, 3.5% Asian-American/Pacific Islander, and 17.4% other races, with 21.3% of the population self-reporting as hispanic or latino.[1]
