My ancestor was one of the first people in Cleveland Ohio. She was along with the Moses Cleveland expedition that explored the area for a settlement, then built two cabins for people to stay in "Cleveland" during that first winter ( While Moses Cleveland took his boats back East across the lake and spent the winter in comfort). 15 people stayed that winter including two women.
In spring, he came back across the lake and saw the cabins and people who stayed... then he named the area Cleveland.
That was probably the first time the F-word was said in Cleveland, Ohio.
