History

General Anthony Wayne built Fort Industry in 1794, which was the first establishment of the area. A city was formed in 1817 and it merged with neighboring Vistula in 1833 and was renamed Toledo. The city was officially incorporated in 1837. A dispute over state boundaries between Ohio and Michigan occurred in 1835-1836 and was labeled the "Toledo War." Congress sided with Ohio in this matter. In the coming years, canals and railroads reached the city which helped fuel future growth. Additionally, coal and oil fields were developed in the later part of the century as well as major glass factories. Notably, the Toledo Plan of labor conciliation was produced in 1946 and has been adopted in other U.S. cities.
