The Cuyahoga river had been essential during the late 1700's for the development and industrialization of Ohio, particularly the small frontier town which came to be Cleveland. Over the next 170 years, the river transformed from a pristine, clear body of water to a chemical and sewage-ridden outlet. Eventually, in 1969, the river was no longer able to burden the damage that was inflicted upon it by the humans occupying the lands, and erupted into flames.
