Did
You Know?
Perrysburg
was platted in 1816 by the Federal Government below the
historical site of Fort Meigs on the Maumee River. The town was
named for Oliver Hazzard Perry, the famous Commodore who won the
Battle of Lake Erie during the War of 1812.
The
village became an important shipbuilding center and the third
largest Great Lakes Port after Cleveland and Buffalo around the
1840's, but declined after Toledo and Detroit had become larger.
In the early 1900's, Perrysburg prospered due to the building of
the Toledo Interurban Railroad. Perrysburg established itself as
a bedroom community. The development of the Interstate highway
system in the 1950's and 1960's spurred more rapid growth in the
area. Perrysburg became a city in 1960, with 5,519 residents.
The Rossford Ordinance Depot in Perrysburg Township became the
largest industrial park in Wood County. Chrysler and other
companies were attracted to the area. Since the 1970's, the area has grown at a rapid pace. Perrysburg stands poised for the future and is proud of its colorful past. |
