Anti-Whiskey Crusaders * Baseball * Odd Fellows *

In the early days when when dealing with society and social matters, Cuyahoga Falls was always fully abreast with the most intelligent and refined of her Western Reserve contemporaries. These included a large number of church and benevolent associations and the various civic and beneficial organizations that have existed from time to time. Ever appreciative of good music, the Falls has produced several vocalists and pianists of more than local reputation.

Anti-slavery, missionary, temperance and other reformatory movements have had in their day and generation received due attention from the people of the Falls. Some of the other groups of people or 'clubs' are listed below:
