The first permanent settler in this area was a man named David Abbot. He and his family developed good relations with the local tribe of Erie Indians. These Indians lived along the bank of a river that they called Sha-ga-rin which meant “clear water." This river went on to be renamed as Chagrin River. The area was named Willoughby after Dr. Westel Willoughby, a public health official whom the founders of the local medical college wanted to attract to the area.
