The town of Cleveland, situated about three miles northwest of Columbus, was laid out in 1857, George W. Stevens, William H. Stevens and Michael Sweeny being active in "building it up." It went down with the city of Neenah, Buchanan and other paper towns.

George Francis Train built a grand hotel in 1866 called the Credit Foncier, but moved it to Columbus in 1868 when the fortunes of Columbus showed more promise. It was moved to the corner of Olive and 12th Street, or current day 26th Avenue and 12th street.

There are no real remains of the town.
