The Northern Ohio Food Terminal is a 34 acre wholesale food complex in Cleveland, Ohio that dates to 1929. It replaced a neighborhood. It is located from East 37th Street to East 40th Street between Woodland Avenue and Orange Avenue.[1] The facility's construction saw the demolition of over 200 homes and the closure of several streets in the city, as part of a cooperation between food companies and the Nickel Plate Railroad. Construction cost approximately $6 million, and the facility opened on June 3, 1929.[2] The site was considered the center for the selling of fresh produce in Cleveland, and was the location of a 1942 study by Ohio State University on the transportation of goods during periods of war.[3]
Railroad cars and trucks supplied it. It sold fruits, vegetables, and meat.[4] In recent decades business has declined but several wholesalers continue to operate at the market.[5]
