In 1794, a settlement was established under the name of Fort Industry, but all the residents escaped in the battle of 1812. In 1817, 974 acres of land were purchased by Cincinnati Syndicate to rebuild the settlement. In 1820, the city was renamed Toledo by merging with the Vistura settlement in the north. There are various theories about the origin of the city name, such as that when an older brother of a local resident explored Spain, he suggested the name Toledo because the local merchant was able to pronounce it easily, but it is unknown.

In 1936, the first glass-walled building was completed as the headquarters building of Owens Illinois. The building is an important building in the history of architecture as a pioneer in the architectural style called the International Style.

Toledo War

The Toledo War is a 1835-36 conflict over the boundary between Ohio and the Michigan Territory (currently Michigan). The area between the North-South 8~13km and the Indiana border and Lake Erie, which became the point of contention at the time, is called the Toledo Strip. Because there was a discrepancy between the Ordinance Specifying the State Boundary at the time of the establishment of the Northwest Territory in 1787 and the Ordinance Specifying the State Boundary at the time of the Ohio State Promotion in 1802, it caused a political conflict when Michigan State Promotion was initiated. Finally, the Michigan Sub-State agreed to hand over the Toledo Strip to Ohio as a condition for the state promotion presented by the federal government, merging two thirds of the Upper Peninsula, and settled on the present state border.

Toledo riot

For more information, see Wikipedia English, 2005 Toledo Riot

In the past, there was a period of racial friction between African americans and white people. When the Detroit riot occurred in 1967, there was a riot in the city in response to this.

On 15 October 2005, a group of neo-Nazis visited Toledo and planned to march in the city. The Neo-Nazi group racially roamed up across the northern part of Toledo's area, with people protesting against it starting to throw stones at the police and the Neo-Nazis, and the riots broke out. When the riot started, the Neo-Nazi group was taken out of the area by the police and left the city once.

Mayor Jack Ford called the day Day of Peace (Peace Day) and denounced the riot as a "Neo-Nazi Jar" (Neo-Nazi Thoughts). The city was on the alert and prohibited from going out after 8 p.m. 120 protesters were arrested by December 1 of the same year

On Dec. 10, a group of neo-Nazis returned to the city and started a demonstration march in downtown. Twenty-six protesters were arrested, but this time did not lead to violent behavior.
