==History==
Jeptha Wade arrived in Cleveland in the 1850s, already having amassed part of his fortune in the telegraph industry, and proceeded to become one of the city's wealthiest residents by expanding his holdings into the industries of steel and banking. Like Marcus Hanna, John D Rockefeller and John Severance, his contemporaries along Euclid Avenue's 'Millionaire's Row', Wade used his industrial wealth to endow cultural and educational institutions.〔("Wade, Jeptha Homer I" ) The Encyclopedia of Cleveland History. July 23, 1997. Accessed July 10, 2011.〕 In 1882, he donated of land east of the city for the purpose of creating a park, which was named in his honor.〔 Today, the bequeathed Wade property serves as the campus for some of Cleveland's best-known tourist attractions.
