History

Clark-Fulton is part of an old ethnic neighborhood that include the Old Brooklyn and Archwood-Denison areas.[3] Early settlers were German[2] and eastern European families particularly those with Polish and Slovenian ancestry.[3] According to the 2018 U.S. census estimate, the neighborhood has the highest concentration of Puerto Ricans, and Hispanics overall, in Cleveland and Cuyahoga County.[4] This development was driven by competition for housing with other ethnic minorities.[5] Puerto Rican migrants initially settled around the area of the Lady of Fatima Catholic Church.[5] This area in recent years has begun calling itself La Villa Hispaña due to its large Hispanic population, Puerto Rican and otherwise. The community is focused on advancing and promoting Hispanic-owned businesses and cultural activities.
