In the late 1800s, the growth of the railroad led to Midwestern cities like Minneapolis and Cleveland becoming industrial centers.

Regarding Cleveland, although initially it was not very attractive - due to the proximity to low and marshy lands, with harsh winters that did not encourage the settlement - the place resulted providential. The city began to grow rapidly after the completion of the Ohio and Erie Canal in 1832, making the city a key link between the Ohio River and the Great Lakes, and particularly once the rail links to the city were added. The rapid growth resulted in the incorporation of Cleveland as a city in 1836. As a half-way point for the iron ore that came from Minnesota through the Great Lakes and for the coal and other raw materials that came by southern rail, the place started to prosper. Cleveland became one of the largest manufacturing and population centers in the United States, and was the headquarters of numerous large steel firms. Standard Oil founder John D. Rockefeller made his fortune there, and in 1920, it was the fifth largest city in the country.

On the other hand, Minneapolis was by 1870 the first flour producer in the country, with a dozen factories in operation near the waterfalls.
