Asa Upson farmlands - 1852
This portion of the 1852 Blackmore Cuyahoga County Map shows the locations and acreage of Asa Upson's farmlands (outlined in red) in Warrensville Township in that year. The farmlands were located north and south of Kinsman Road (now Chagrin Boulevard) and west of the Warrensville town center (now the intersection of Warrensville Center Road and Chagrin Boulevard.) In 1834, Upson purchased more than 200 acres of land in Lots 45, 55 and 64 in Warrensville Township. In the decade which followed, he sold off approximately one-half of that acreage, retaining 107 acres for himself and his family. In the period 1851-1854, Upon sold those remaining acres and moved with his family to Illinois.
