The area now known as the city of Westlake was first settled on October 10, 1810. At the time, it was part of Dover Township.<\/p>\n

In 1901, the northern part of the township seceded to form Bay Village.<\/sup> In 1912, a southern portion left to join North Olmsted. The remaining township residents formed Dover Village in 1913, taking with it a portion of Olmsted Township.<\/p>\n

Dover Village was renamed Westlake in 1940. This was done to eliminate confusion with Dover, Ohio. The village of Westlake became a city in 1957.<\/sup> The Westlake Historical Society was formed to inform and educate others about the history of Dover\/ Westlake.<\/p>\n

In September 1966, a house in Westlake which had recently been bought by John R. Compton, a black pastor, was firebombed. No one was injured, although the bombing did cause around $10,000 of damage. According to the Cleveland Press<\/i>, the mayor of Westlake, Alexander R. Roman, „criticized the parties involved in the sale of the home…He said no one was notified so the community could be prepared to accept a Negro family.“<\/sup><\/p>\n

Crocker Park is a lifestyle center located on Crocker Road. It is essentially an outdoor mall with areas for recreation and socializing. The park is based on a small French town-type setting. There are also apartments and offices above some stores and restaurants. Townhouses are located on the southwest corner.<\/p>\n
