Middleburg Heights, was originally part of Middleburg Township which received its name from the families migrating to the area from Middleburg, New York. The first settler in the area, Jared Hickox, arrived in 1809. The settlement grew slowly. Low, wet terrain and numerous swamps, breeding grounds for mosquitoes, retarded development. Agriculture was the mainstay of the early settlers, and cleared fields were mainly used for growing beans and as pasture. The construction of railroads in the late 1840s opened the area to neighboring communities, particularly Olmsted Falls and Berea. In 1842, the quarry industry began, attracting many German and later Polish families. An attempt by the village of Berea to annex Middleburg Township in the 1920s led to the incorporation of Middleburg as a village.
