Discover Toledo
The Wyandot and the peoples of the Council of Three Fires, the Ojibwe, Potawatomi and Odawa, controlled the region, and the French set up fur-trading posts by 1680. At French invitation the Odawa moved south from Manitoulin Island, and by the early 18th century they held most of the Maumee River to its mouth and served as middlemen in the trade. When Toledo prepared to pave its streets, surveyors recorded two prehistoric semicircular earthworks, one on Swan Creek and one on the Maumee. The Army built Fort Industry at the mouth of Swan Creek about 1805. In the Treaty of Detroit, signed on November 17, 1807, the four tribes ceded land that included the mouth of the Maumee, and the last Odawa left the area in 1839.
More about Toledo
Many settlers fled British and Native raids during the War of 1812. Around 1818 a Cincinnati syndicate bought 974 acres at the mouth of Swan Creek and named the town Port Lawrence, now downtown, and another group founded Vistula just to the north. The two met at Cherry Street, which is why the streets on either side meet at slightly different angles. When the Miami and Erie Canal was planned, towns along the Maumee competed to be its end point, and Port Lawrence and Vistula merged in 1833 to compete. The origin of the name Toledo is uncertain. One legend credits Washington Irving, though he had already returned from Spain in 1832, and another credits Two Stickney, son of a major who numbered his sons. The most popular story credits the merchant Willard J. Daniels, who said the name was easy to say, pleasant and not used by any other city on the continent. The canal ended up terminating just north of Toledo, with a side cut to Swan Creek as a compromise. Sources Wikipedia: Toledo, Ohio
