Clevelanders

Rock Hall hometown crowd

Clevelanders are people from Cleveland, most commonly referring to residents of Cleveland, Ohio, the second-largest city in that state.

The term appears frequently in sports contexts, as Cleveland has professional teams in baseball, football, and basketball.

Clevelanders finally celebrated a championship when the Cavaliers won in 2016.

Like other demonyms, it can suggest shared identity and civic pride among those who live in or hail from the city.
