City of Lakewood, Ohio
History and Geography The City of Lakewood is located on the southern shores of Lake Erie in Northeast Ohio and part of the Greater Cleveland Metropolitan Area, approximately five miles west of downtown Cleveland. Originally a forested wilderness settled by Native Americans, Lakewood grew with the streetcar infrastructure to become the first suburb west of Cleveland. Originally organized as a hamlet in 1889, Lakewood incorporated as a village in 1903 and as a city in 1911. Lakewood is recognized as a beautiful city of historic homes and a residential community of 5.53 square miles and 50,942 residents, making it the third largest city in Cuyahoga County, Ohio, according to the 2020 Federal Census. Lakewood enjoys proximity to major cultural, educational, and medical facilities in Northeast Ohio, with ease of access to many interstate highways and Cleveland Hopkins International Airport, making it a desirable location for residents and commercial enterprises. Government Lakewood operates and is governed by the laws of the State of Ohio, and its city charter provides for a mayor-council form of government. The mayor is elected to a four-year term, serving as the City’s full-time chief executive and administrative officer. Legislative authority is vested in a seven-member part-time council, consisting of four members serving their ward, and three serving at-large. Terms of Council members are staggered between two groups that are elected and serve four-year terms.
