- What occurred
- The Cleveland and Eastern interurban electric railway was established in 1895 and played a crucial role in the dissipation of citizens to the suburbs. With numerous railway lines running for up to 100 miles, people finally found recreation to be feasibly assessable. Geauga Lake, an up-and-coming location for mass recreation just so happened to be located along one of these routes. This was the primary method of transportation until the 1920's when cars began getting mass produced.
