Land in High Demand / Treaty of Fort Industry
Land in High Demand
Even before settlement, the fertile Maumee River Valley has been disputed land. It sustained nomadic hunters, toolmakers and woodland tribes and served as an important travel route.
Settlement led to clashes with Native Americans, the Battle of Fallen Timbers and the eventual removal of remaining Tribal Nations.
Did you know?
One of the earliest and
most important industries
in the United States was the
fur trade, which depended
on navigable waterways
such as the Maumee.
Treaty of Fort Industry
Fort Industry, not far from here, was
the site of an 1805 treaty that ceded
more Native American land to the
United States. Although little is
known of the history of Fort
Industry or its construction, it is
prominently featured in the seal of
the city of Toledo.
Thank you…

Public Library for providing

historical photos from their
Images in Time collection.
