Throughout
the Civil War, the Union Army maintained several muster and training camps in the
Cleveland area. The largest and most permanent of these was Camp
Cleveland, located in what is now the East Tremont section of
Cleveland.
From its opening in July, 1862 until
its closing in October, 1865, approximately 15,230 men trained at Camp
Cleveland. Following the end of the war, the buildings were
quickly sold and by the end of 1865, Camp Cleveland was gone.
In addition to Camp Cleveland, there
were five other Union camps in the Cleveland area during the war. For the most part,
these other camps were short-lived "tent camps" where just a
single unit trained.
