The area that is now Toledo was originally inhabited by the Ottawa and Miami tribes of Native Americans. The city was founded in 1833 and was named for the city of Toledo in Spain.
In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Toledo became a major industrial center, with a focus on the production of glass, auto parts, and other manufactured goods. The city was also a hub for the transportation industry, with the development of the Toledo Terminal Railroad in the 1920s.
Today, Toledo is known for its diverse economy, with a focus on healthcare, education, and advanced manufacturing. The city is home to the University of Toledo, as well as several museums, cultural centers, and other attractions.
