Village of Cleveland, NY 

Nestled on the scenic north shore of Oneida Lake in Oswego County, the Village of Cleveland is a spirited lakeside community with deep roots and a bright future. Incorporated in 1857, Cleveland began as a vibrant hub of industry — from the Eagle Tannery and grist mills to three glass factories that once shipped finely crafted window glass throughout the Northeast via the Erie Canal.

Today, Cleveland is a close-knit village of approximately 730 residents that cherishes its heritage while embracing modern living. Historic landmarks like St. James’ Church, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, speak to the enduring character of our community.

As a proud member of the North Shore Council of Governments (NorCOG), Cleveland works collaboratively with neighboring towns and villages along Oneida Lake to advance regional initiatives in economic development, infrastructure, and community resilience. Through shared planning and cooperation, NorCOG enhances the quality of life for residents across the north shore.

Whether you’re here to explore our lakeside beauty, learn about our history, or connect with community services, the Village of Cleveland welcomes you with warm hospitality and hometown pride.
