Shaker Heights is an inner-ring streetcar suburb of Cleveland, abutting the eastern edge of the city's limits.

In November 1911, the voters of Shaker Village formed Shaker Heights Village, which was incorporated in January 1912.
  Shaker Heights was a planned community developed by the Van Sweringen brothers, railroad moguls who envisioned the community as a suburban retreat from the industrial inner city of Cleveland.
