    1. Re: [OHCUYAHO] Founding of Newburgh, now Newburgh Heights
    2. Hello: I don't know when the Newburgh you are speaking of was founded. However, I am familiar with what is now Newburgh Heights and also where Miles Avenue is. Early on, a large area on the southeast side of the Cuyahoga River was called Newburgh. Miles Avenue had beautiful, large homes, and it was a lovely area. Unfortunately, today the neighborhood is no longer like it was. Most of the people who owned those beautiful homes moved out to the suburbs, and many of the homes were then purchased by absentee landlords. It is no longer an area where I'd feel safe. One part of what was Newburgh became Newburgh Heights. It is a small village. Its boundaries, roughly, are the Harvard-Denison Bridge on the west, East 49th Street on the east, Fleet Avenue on the north, and Harvard Avenue on the South. This area is about 2 miles northwest of Miles Avenue. Newburgh Heights doesn't have its own school system, and the students there attend Cleveland Public Schools, as do the students on Miles Avenue, which is a part of the city of Cleveland. Newburgh Heights does have its own police, fire, and mayor, though. Good luck in your searching! Lorene of Cleveland.
