About Toledo
With grand visions in their minds in the 1800s, the founders of this city named it "Toledo" after the Spanish city of the same name. Like its namesake, the city has many beautiful churches and some lovely Spanish-style architecture. Today, the economy is largely driven by the glass and automotive industries. Indeed, "Glass City" is home to several big name glass producers, including Owens-Illinois, Owens Corning, Libbey Glass, Pilkington North America and Therma-Tru, and the first glass-covered building was constructed in Toledo in 1936. Ford Motor Company has a factory in Toledo and DaimlerChrysler opened a state-of-the-art plant here in 2006 solely for the production of Jeep vehicles. Of course, you can't talk about Toledo without mentioning Lake Erie and the Maumee River, which runs right through the downtown. There are many things to do along the water in Toledo, including fishing, boating, dining at the restaurants at the Docks or spending a day at serene Maumee Bay State Park. Beyond the riverbanks, though, you may be surprised at the diversity and breadth of attractions and activities Toledo has to offer.
Did you know?
Holy Toledo! There are several theories about the origins of this phrase. Along with the more obvious possibilities (the city has many churches of different faiths, and its namesake is notable for similar reasons), the saying could have become popular after Billy Sunday called the city "Holy Toledo" during a revival service in 1908. Or, it may have arisen as a satirical comment on the city's abundance of saloons, which at one time outnumbered the churches. It's also been suggested that 1920s-era gangsters referred to the city as "Holy Toledo" because of a lax police department. The bottom line: no one knows for sure!
