'''West Boulevard''' is a [neighborhood](/source/Neighborhoods_in_Cleveland) on the West Side of [Cleveland](/source/Cleveland), [Ohio](/source/Ohio). It borders the suburbs of [Brooklyn](/source/Brooklyn%2C_Ohio) and [Linndale](/source/Linndale%2C_Ohio) to the south, [Interstate 90](/source/Interstate_90_in_Ohio) and the neighborhoods of [Cudell](/source/Cudell%2C_Cleveland) and [Detroit–Shoreway](/source/Detroit%E2%80%93Shoreway) to the north, [Stockyards](/source/Stockyards%2C_Cleveland) to the east, and [Jefferson](/source/Jefferson%2C_Cleveland) to the west.<ref>{{cite web|title=Map of West Boulevard, Implemented by the City of Cleveland in 2012|url=http://levin.urban.csuohio.edu/nodis/SPAmaps/WestBoulevard.pdf|publisher= Northern Ohio Data and Information Service (NODIS), [Levin College of Urban Affairs](/source/Maxine_Goodman_Levin_College_of_Urban_Affairs) ([Cleveland State University](/source/Cleveland_State_University))|access-date=July 23, 2022}}</ref> Its name is derived "from the West Blvd. thoroughfare which runs north-south through the district’s center."<ref name="enc">{{cite encyclopedia |title=West Boulevard Neighborhood|last=Roy |first=Christopher |encyclopedia=The Encyclopedia of Cleveland History |date=24 August 2020 |publisher=[Case Western Reserve University](/source/Case_Western_Reserve_University) |url=https://case.edu/ech/articles/w/west-boulevard-neighborhood |access-date=June 25, 2021}}</ref>
