But why is Cleveland the place for so many Irish to celebrate? Turns out 14% of Ohioans are of Irish descent, with a majority living in Rocky River, Fairview Park, Bay Village and Lakewood.
An article by the Plain Dealer found that "many of the Irish who settled in Cuyahoga County came from County Mayo, on Ireland's west coast."
