Kirtland was part of what was called the Western Reserve, land claimed by Connecticut. It was first surveyed by the surveying team headed up by Moses Cleaveland that first arrived in this area in the late 1700s. The beautiful hilly land was not well suited for large scale farming, but it was attractive for its dense forests. The virst settlers arrived here just before the outbreak of the War of 1812.
The town of Kirtland is named for Turhand Kirtland, a member of the Connecticut Land Company and one of the early surveyors of the area.

The deep ravine that cut through Samuel Halle's farm is said to have been deep enough it could be used as a natural confinement, like Mother Nature's Penitentiary. Whether it was used for that purpose is doubtful, but the description was adopted by the Lake Metroparks when it acquired the land in the mid 1970s. Today the park is a natural attraction for visitors wishing to escape the confines of city life by taking self-guided tours through the rugged landscape.
