In the first half of the nineteenth century, thousands of Connecticut Yankees migrated to Northeast Ohio to what was then called the Connecticut Reserve, to farm the fertile soils here. Newlyweds Asa and Chloe Upson were two of those Connecticut Yankees who came to Northeast Ohio during that era. In around 1820 they settled in Portage County, but later they moved to Cuyahoga County. In 1834, they purchased more than 200 acres of land in what was then Warrensville Township and what is today the City of Shaker Heights.
After living for almost two decades in Warrensville Township, Asa and Chloe sold their farm and moved to Illinois in 1854
