History of First Cleveland Cavalry


Initial Organization

At about the same time that Cincinnati, Hillsboro, and Shelby were forming National Guard cavalry troops, the city of Cleveland raised the First City Troop of Cleveland, an independent organization formed under the laws of the city. The immediate cause for organization was the labor troubles of the great railroad strike of 1877. The troop dates its existence from October 10, 1877, and it is this date which the historical section of the Army War College considers as the birth date of the 107th Cavalry.
