History of Cleveland Section of the American Society for Civil Engineers

"The beginnings of the Cleveland Section ASCE can be traced to 1880 when a group of Cleveland engineers formed the Civil Engineers Club. This group, which was not affiliated with ASCE, later changed its name to the Cleveland Engineering Society. Between 1909 and 1911 efforts were being made to establish an ASCE Section in Cleveland. There were some local objections because of the potential for competition with the Cleveland Engineering Society. On April 11, 1914, then Cleveland Engineering Society President, A. J. Himes, Bridge Engineer of the Nickel Plate Road, called a meeting at the Society's headquarters in the Chamber of Commerce Building on Public Square. At this meeting a committee was appointed to organize an ASCE Chapter in Cleveland. The first meeting of the "Cleveland Chapter, ASCE" was called to order on October 28, 1914, the first officers were elected on December 19, 1914, and on January 6, 1915, the National Board of ASCE approved the Cleveland Section's Constitution" -- from
