Chapter History

In 1938, the Cleveland Heights branch of the LWV was revived. The branches in the County were revivals of the old suffrage district groups. After 1939 and through the war years the LWV enjoyed a tremendous increase in membership, which led to a reorganization of the County League into individual city Leagues. In 1943, the University Heights branch League was formed. In 1946, it became the Cleveland Heights-University Heights LWV.
