The \u201cGulf of Cleveland\u201d will stretch from the easternmost to the westernmost points of the city\u2019s shoreline, and two miles into Lake Erie. <\/p>\n

Cleveland\u2019s departments are to refer to this area by its new name and include the new name on any city-generated maps and in city documents, according to the resolution. <\/p>\n

The City Council will forward the renaming to global map-making corporations like Apple and Google, and expect them to begin using \u201cThe Gulf of Cleveland.\u201d<\/p>\n

The city said that they didn\u2019t want to be \u201cleft behind\u201d in the rebranding. <\/p>\n

They even plan to mail companies like Apple and Google to demand they change their digital companies to change their digital maps to show the new name.<\/p>\n
