Toledo, Ohio - The Glass City, and The Crossroads of America
Toledo, Ohio is strategically situated on the banks of Lake Erie and the Maumee River, and is a hub of art, architecture, sports, and recreation that define this entrepreneurial region.
Toledo is the county seat of Lucas County. Toledo is in northwest Ohio, at the western end of Lake Erie bordering the state of Michigan. The city was founded by United States citizens in 1833 on the west bank of the Maumee River, and originally incorporated as part of Monroe County, Michigan Territory. It was re-founded in 1837, after conclusion of the Toledo War, when it was incorporated in Ohio.
After construction of the Miami and Erie Canal, Toledo grew quickly; it also benefited from its position on the railway line between New York City and Chicago. It has since become a city with an art community, auto assembly businesses, education, healthcare, and local sports teams. The city's glass industry has earned it the nickname, "The Glass City".
The population of Toledo as of the 2010 Census was 287,208, making it the 71st-largest city in the United States. It is the fourth most populous city in Ohio after Columbus, Cleveland, and Cincinnati.
