Toledo is a city in Lucas County on the northern border of Ohio. As of the 2000 census, the city had a total population of 313,619. Toledo is known as the Glass City because of its long history of innovation in all aspects of the glass industry: windows, bottles, windshields, and construction materials.

A skirmish between Ohio and Michigan, called the Toledo War, was once fought over a badly-surveyed strip of land containing the city. Militias from both states were sent but never engaged.
The city is situated on what was formerly the Black Swamp, giving rise to another nickname, Frog Town. An important ecological site, a sandy oak savanna called the Oak Openings region, lies just west.
Culturally, the greatest institution is the Toledo Museum of Art (http://www.toledomuseum.org), an internationally-acclaimed museum with a modest, but very complete collection housed in a Greek revival building. The Toledo Zoo (http://www.toledozoo.org) was the first zoo to feature a hippoquarium-style exhibit.
The Old West End is a historic neighborhood of Victorian houses recognized by the National Register of Historic Places.
There is also a major university, a major seaport, and a AAA minor league baseball team called the Toledo Mud Hens.
It is the county seat of Lucas County6.
On January 15, 1936 the first building to be completely covered in glass was completed in Toledo. It was a building for the Owens-Illinois Glass Company[?] and marked a milestone in architectural design[?] that eventually led to the International Style[?] of architecture.
