The Native Americans signed the treaty at Detroit, Michigan, on November 17, 1807, with William Hull, governor of the Michigan Territory and superintendent of Indian affairs, as the sole representative of the U.S. Reserves for the Odawa were set aside in northwestern Ohio for a limited period of time. In the Treaty of Detroit (1807), the above four tribes ceded a large land area to the United States of what became southeastern Michigan and northwestern Ohio, to the mouth of the Maumee River (where Toledo later developed). The United States continued to work to extinguish land claims of Native Americans. No official reports support the 19th-century tradition of its earlier history there. Slocum, the American military built Fort Industry at the mouth of Swan Creek about 1805, as a temporary stockade. Such earthworks were typical of mound-building peoples.Īccording to Charles E. When the city of Toledo was preparing to pave its streets, it surveyed "two prehistoric semicircular earthworks, presumably for stockades." One was at the intersection of Clayton and Oliver streets on the south bank of Swan Creek the other was at the intersection of Fassett and Fort streets on the right bank of the Maumee River. The Wyandot occupied central Ohio, and the Shawnee and Lenape occupied the southern areas. They served as middlemen between the French and tribes further to the west and north. By the early 18th century, the Odawa occupied areas along most of the Maumee River to its mouth. They settled an area extending into northwest Ohio. The Odawa moved from Manitoulin Island and the Bruce Peninsula at the invitation of the French, who established a trading post at Fort Detroit, about 60 miles to the north.
The French established trading posts in the area by 1680 to take advantage of the lucrative fur trade. The region was part of a larger area controlled by the historic tribes of the Wyandot and the people of the Council of Three Fires ( Ojibwe, Potawatomi and Odawa). Downtown Toledo has been subject to major revitalization efforts, allowing a bustling entertainment district. The first of many glass manufacturers arrived in the 1880s, eventually earning Toledo its nickname: "The Glass City." It has since become a city with a distinctive and growing art community, auto assembly businesses, education, thriving healthcare, and well-supported local sports teams. It was re-founded in 1837, after the conclusion of the Toledo War, when it was incorporated in Ohio.Īfter the 1845 completion 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. The city was founded in 1833 on the west bank of the Maumee River, and originally incorporated as part of Monroe County, Michigan Territory.
