The city has done a nice job of compiling N.O.'s history on their website.  When you get to the page notice the links in the gray bar left of the Town Hall image.  Each contains relevant information for this topic of inquiry.

History of Olmsted Township (and North Olmsted) 
First published in 1924, some one (Ray, maybe?) typed out this history and published it on the internet.  Stories contained in this history are particularly interesting, and I have not seen them recounted anywhere else.
