Lured by the prospect of a canal connecting with Lake Erie, eager developers settled in the Toledo area in the 1830s despite threats posed by the Black Swamp, Native Americans, and foreign occupiers. The area's economic potential led to the 1835 Toledo War between Michigan and Ohio. Toledo incorporated in 1837. Its canals, railroads, and natural resources inspired Jesup W. Scott to proclaim Toledo "The Future Great City of the World." Such boosterism overstated the case, but Toledo did soon attract manufacturers of farm wagons, bicycles, and beer. And in 1888, Edward Drummond Libbey relocated his glass company to the city, creating a catalyst for other glass-manufacturing ventures. Toledo: The 19th Century illustrates the city's early struggles and eventual success as "The Glass Capital of the World."

While Jesup W. Scott proclaimed it the "Future Great City of the World" in 1868, in reality, Toledo saw little development for the first four decades after its founding in 1837. Plagued by swamps, disease, and unwelcoming occupants, few settled here. But slowly, the city attracted people who saw a chance to improve their lives and perhaps their fortunes, including Edward Drummond Libbey. In 1888, Libbey brought with him the glass industry that would dominate the city's economy and earn it the nickname of "Glass Capital of the World." Legendary Locals of Toledo describes the impact of people like Scott, Libbey, and others who shaped Toledo--from the well known whose names grace street signs, buildings, and monuments, to unsung heroes who few remember. Included are pioneers who were the first in their fields as well as leaders of business and industry, representatives of government and the law, and successful entertainers and sports figures. Some were born here and moved on to make their impact, while others lived here and impacted the city.

The Toledo Tomorrow model city exhibit of 1945 was intended to showcase Toledo to possible investors and revitalize the city’s economy after World War Two. However, its longer lasting effect was to popularize the idea of a national interstate system and the suburban lifestyle it made possible. The Toledo Blade newspaper and its owner Paul Block Jr. not only funded the exhibit; they encouraged citizens to regard their city as obsolete, priming them for expensive and destructive road building projects. The exhibit’s designer, Norman Bel Geddes, used the opportunity to apply the abstract auto-centric principles of his famous 1939 Futurama exhibit to a real-world city. The apparent result by the 1970s was a downtown sapped of vitality and predominantly black inner-city neighborhoods adversely affected by highway construction.

Toledo began the 20th century as it had ended the 19th—with a rapid expansion in industrialization, urbanization, and immigration. The titans of industry who shaped Toledo's early history continued to expand their fortunes and were joined by others who took advantage of the city's potential. A new industry emerged from the bicycle factories and wagon works of the 19th century—the automobile industry. It would dominate Toledo's economy in the 20th century. In addition to Jeeps, scales, glass, spark plugs, and transmissions, Toledo was also known for its civic reforms, strong labor unions, and fine cultural institutions during the 20th century. While Toledo never became “The Future Great City of the World” that Jesup Scott envisioned or even the futuristic “Toledo Tomorrow” that Norman Bel Geddes imagined, by the end of the 20th century, it was a successful city with an interesting past and a hopeful future.
