The county history of 1870 has no passage naming this settlement, which was common for the smaller places. Its township is covered in full.

The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 3 fires within 5 miles of Willow between 1993 and 2018, burning about 8 acres in total. 1 started naturally. 1 was recorded as arson. Distance is straight-line from the map coordinates, so a fire counted here may appear on a neighbouring settlement's page as well.

The most recent of them, most recent first, with the day each was reported and the service that recorded it.

Settlements close enough to share some of these fires:

• Garfield Heights
• Henry
• Independence
• Maple Heights
• Pleasant Valley
• Seven Hills

Every fire recorded in Cuyahoga County

Museums hold 3,314 specimens collected within 10 miles of Willow between 1849 and 1975: 2,899 Animalia, 219 Fungi, 117 Plantae, 73 Protozoa, 4 Unrecorded, 1 Chromista, 1 incertae sedis. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A. D. Huryn, A. D. Selby, A. Hall and others. Each is a physical object with a catalogue number, and each entry opens the museum's record. This is what was collected and kept, not a survey of what lives here - nothing can be concluded from a species being absent.
