Toledo: Glass, Jeep, and a Port on Lake Erie
Toledo stands at the western end of Lake Erie where the Maumee River empties into Maumee Bay, a location that made it one of the key Great Lakes shipping points through the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The city took its current form after the Toledo War of 1835 and 1836, a bloodless border dispute between Ohio and the Michigan Territory that was resolved by Congress in Ohio's favor. Michigan received the Upper Peninsula as compensation.
Glass manufacturing shaped the local identity for more than a century. Libbey Glass, Owens-Illinois, and Owens Corning all trace their origins to Toledo, and the city was known as the Glass Capital. Owens Corning still operates its global headquarters here. Jeep production at the Toledo Assembly Complex is the largest private manufacturing operation in the city, building the Wrangler and Gladiator for worldwide distribution.
The University of Toledo enrolls roughly 17,000 students and operates the only accredited medical school in the region through its Health Science Campus. The Toledo Museum of Art holds a collection of 30,000 works across the main building designed by Edward Green and the Glass Pavilion by SANAA. The Toledo Mud Hens, the Triple-A affiliate of the Detroit Tigers, play at Fifth Third Field downtown.
