Brecksville, Residential city in Cuyahoga County, Ohio, United States.
The city extends over 19.56 square miles of land, with eastern borders defined by the Cuyahoga River and western limits adjacent to Broadview Heights.
Colonel John Breck and his partners purchased the land in 1807, leading to the first settlement in 1811 when surveyor Seth Payne established residence.
The Brecksville Theatre presents community performances in the Old Town Hall, continuing a tradition of local arts in the Cleveland metropolitan area.
The Cleveland Metroparks and Cuyahoga Valley National Park occupy one-third of the city area, providing extensive outdoor recreation opportunities.
The geographical position where the Glaciated Allegheny Plateau meets the Great Lakes Basin creates distinct wooded bluffs and ravines throughout the territory.
