Euclid Creek Reservation
Cutters Creek (CC) is a community in South Euclid, Ohio. South Euclid was part of the land comprising the Western Reserve, approximately 3.3 million acres of land in what is now northeastern Ohio. Euclid Township was officially formed in 1809 and was divided into nine districts in 1828. South Euclid became the second district.
Cutters Creek is situated near the entrance to Cleveland Metroparks' Euclid Creek Reservation and provides quick access to the scenic beauty of Euclid Creek's trials and parks. Cutters Creek is a cosy HOA of approximately 50 homes and is named for its own enchanting creek.

It's possible that Cutters Creek received its name from the stone cutters who cut the siltstone quarried in Euclid Creek...read more about the local bluestone industry below and listen to the audio entitled: "The Town of Bluestone."
The Euclid Creek Reservation was once home to the historic village of Bluestone. The southern portion of the reservation is the site of the former village. Bluestone mining flourished in the late 1800s and early 1900s when its populace quarried the blue-gray siltstone used in building sidewalks and other construction. Today, the only remaining exposure of bluestone is in the Reservation's Quarry Picnic Area.
