Historically East Cleveland was partially founded by Scottish immigrants, whose names can still be found in the city such as Shaw, McIlrath, and Eddy.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://ech.case.edu/cgi/article.pl?id=BI4 |title=Encyclopedia of Cleveland History: British Immigration |publisher=Case Western Reserve University |year=2014 |access-date=July 29, 2014}}</ref> East Cleveland incorporated as a village in 1895 and became a city in 1911. This charter included provisions for women's suffrage, which at the time was unheard of east of the Mississippi River. Before the charter passed, the city of [[Cleveland, Ohio|Cleveland]] unsuccessfully attempted to annex the emerging municipality in 1910 and again in 1916.

East Cleveland is home to [[General Electric]]'s historic [[Nela Park]], the world's first industrial park.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.gelighting.com/na/business_lighting/education_resources/conferences/institute/history.htm |title=GE Lighting & Electrical Institute |publisher=GE Lighting |year=2014 |access-date=July 29, 2014 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111127064708/http://www.gelighting.com/na/business_lighting/education_resources/conferences/institute/history.htm |archive-date=November 27, 2011 }}</ref> Nela Park, which was added to the [[National Register of Historic Places]] in 1975, continues to operate today as the functional headquarters for [[GE Lighting]] and is the city's second largest employer.  Huron Hospital, a satellite hospital of the [[Cleveland Clinic]], was the city's largest employer.  Huron Hospital was a notable health care facility, being the only Level-II trauma center between Cleveland's MetroHealth Medical Center, located on West 25th Street, and Hillcrest Hospital, located in Mayfield Heights.  Huron Hospital closed in early spring of 2011.

By the [[Great Depression]] a great number of homes along "Millionaires' Row" were demolished or abandoned. Although commercial properties and fast-food chains replaced many Euclid Avenue homes during the second half of the 20th century, East Cleveland is still home to 18 of the original "Millionaire's Row" homes, while only six are left in the city of Cleveland.{{citation needed|date=January 2023}}

After [[World War II]], development of other suburbs within the region brought a number of changes to East Cleveland. By the 1960s, African Americans constituted an increasingly large portion of the city's population. By 1984, East Cleveland was one of the largest primarily black communities in Ohio, with a population of 36,957.{{citation needed|date=January 2023}}
