Although the Zoo had recovered by 1962, it would not have another permanent reptile collection until the opening of the RainForest thirty years later. That same year, the Cleveland Museum of Natural History assumed control of the Zoo.īetween 1955 and the transfer of management to the Cleveland Metroparks in 1975, the Zoo experienced rapid expansion despite setbacks due to flooding: the Zoo's reptile collection and several other buildings were lost when Big Creek overflowed in January 1959. By 1940, the Zoo was home to three elephants and its first (permanent) elephant resident since 1924.
Beginning in 1910, the Zoo constructed Monkey Island, sea lion pools, and a moated bear exhibit. In 1907, the city of Cleveland moved the Zoo to its current location in Old Brooklyn, and the Zoo acquired its first elephant. During its early years, the Zoo only held animals of local origin. The Zoo, originally named the Cleveland Zoological Park, first opened in 1882 at Wade Park where the Cleveland Museum of Art now stands.
