City: Toledo State: Ohio Country: United States Population (2009): 316,851 Metropolitan Area Pop.: 650,955 Mayor: Mike Bell Density: 3,767.7/sq mi; 1,454.7/km2 Area: 84.1 sq mi; 217.8 km2 Founded: 1833 demonym: toledoan Nickname(s): The Glass City, Glass Capital of the World, T-Town, Frogtown. The area was first settled by Americans in 1794, after the Battle of Fallen Timbers. Many settlers fled the area during the War of 1812. Resettlement began around 1817 when a Cincinnati syndicate purchased a 974-acre (3.9 km2) tract of land named Port Lawrence. In 1825, the Ohio state legislature authorized the construction of Miami and Erie Canal and later its Wabash and Erie Canal extension in 1833. The canal's purpose was to connect the city of Cincinnati to Lake Erie. During the canal’s planning phase, many small towns along the northern shores of Maumee River heavily competed to be the ending terminus of the canal knowing it would give them a profitable status. The towns of Port Lawrence and Vistula merged in 1833 to better compete for the canal. In the last half of the 19th century, railroads slowly began to replace canals as the major form of transportation. Toledo soon became a hub for several railroad companies and a hotspot for industries. Large immigrant populations came to the area, attracted by the many factory jobs available and the city's easy accessibility. By 1880, Toledo was one of the largest cities in Ohio. Toledo continued to expand in population and industry into the early 20th century, but because of a dependency on manufacturing, the city was hit hard by the Great Depression. Many large scale WPA projects were constructed to reemploy citizens in the 1930s. Some of these include the amphitheater and aquarium at the Toledo Zoo and a major expansion to the Toledo Museum of Art. The city rebounded, but the slump of American manufacturing, along with the nationwide epidemic of white flight from cities to suburbs, led to a depressed city by the time of the 1980s national recession. The destruction of many buildings downtown, along with several failed business ventures in housing in the core, led to a reverse city-suburb wealth problem common in small cities with land to spare. In recent years, downtown Toledo has undergone significant redevelopment to draw residents back to the city. Toledo in 2007 Toledo in 1949 The Toledo Zoo began in 1900, when a woodchuck was donated to the City of Toledo. Since then the animal collection has increased to over 6,000 mammals, fish, reptiles, amphibians, birds, and invertebrates, representing more than 750 species. The Toledo Art Museum was founded by Toledo glassmaker Edward Drummond Libbey in 1901, and moved to its present location, a Greek revival building, in 1912. The building was expanded twice in the 1920s and 1930s. The museum contains major collections of glass art and of 19th and 20th century European and American art, as well as small but distinguished Renaissance, Greek and Roman, and Japanese collections. Fifth Third Field is a baseball stadium that opened in 2002. It is the fourth home of the Toledo Mud Hens of the International League, the AAA affiliate of the Detroit Tigers. The current team is one of several professional clubs that have existed in Toledo since 1883. The name "Mud Hens" was first used in 1896. The Huntington Center hockey arena opened in 2009 as the Lucas County Arena. It is home to the Toledo Walleye of the ECHL, affiliates of the Detroit Red Wings and Chicago Blackhawks of the NHL. They are the sixth hockey team in Toledo's rich hockey history that began in 1947.
