What is 1837 u ask? The newest movement in Toledo Ohio inspired by historic events that created our city we do not represent one side of town we love our city and want to show the talent we have to the World! here is where it began.......Toledo, Ohio lies on Lake Erie at the mouth of the Maumee River. Its inclusion within the state of Ohio was the result of the settlement of the Toledo War, between Michigan and Ohio over control of this territory. Indians lived in a village on the present site of Toledo before the coming of Europeans, but which tribe is not entirely settled. In 1794, General Mad Anthony Wayne fought and won the Battle of Fallen Timbers nearby and subsequently built a stockade fort called Fort Industry. In 1817, the land now occupied by Toledo was purchased from the government by two companies who founded two settlements, known respectively as Port Lawrence and Vistula. In 1836, they were brought together to form Toledo, which received a city charter in 1837.
