Question: The U.S. Coast Guard Station in Cleveland was originally known by what name?

Answer: It originally operated as the Cleveland Life-Saving Station, which began service on Sept. 29, 1876, on the West Pier at the mouth of the Cuyahoga River as part of the U.S. Life-Saving Service. The service became the U.S. Coast Guard in 1915, and the West Pier site remained home to the Cleveland station until 1976.
