Nela Park GE Christmas Lights Display Noble Rd. East Cleveland December 20, 2023
Nela Park in East Cleveland was the first industrial park in the world.
It began in 1879, when Thomas Edison invented the carbon filament lamp. The General Electric Company was formed by merging the Edison Electric Company and the Thomson Houston Company on April 15, 1892. That year, the company employed 10,000 people and had $20 million in sales.
At the turn of the century, entrepreneurs Franklin Terry and Burton Tremaine organized the National Electric Lamp Company (NELA) in Cleveland. GE invested in the company although it was a competitor in order to further the goal of standardizing the GE-invented screw base. Most of the lighting breakthroughs of the last century were developed there. This is the 99th annual Christmas Lights display at NELA Park in East Cleveland.
Watch this quick video walk along Noble Rd. to see the brilliant colorful displays.
Here are some still photos of the 2023 GE Nela Park Christmas display.
