Mayfield Heights was incorporated as a village in 1925 and as a city in 1951. The city derives its name from Mayfield Township, now defunct. One location in the city, the W.A. Thorp House, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.
The city has a large community of Italian Americans, including newly arrived immigrants and those who migrated eastward along Mayfield Road from Little Italy on Cleveland’s East Side. Since the dissolution of the USSR in 1991, they have been joined by a significant number of immigrants from Russia and other former Soviet republics.
