Welcome to the Newto News for March of 2024. My name is Zack Cockfield, and my team and I created Newtomedia as a way for visitors or new residents to get information about a city. Each month we bring together resources that will update you on the history, amenities, culture, future opportunities and all other things inside a city that make it unique. We also hope to be a resource for connecting you with people and businesses that can help you live a better life. If you find our efforts useful, please click on the links to get more information!

Toledo, Ohio has a rich history that dates back to the early 19th century. Founded in 1833 on the banks of the Maumee River, Toledo quickly became a hub for transportation and industry due to its convenient location near Lake Erie. The construction of the Miami and Erie Canal in the 1840s further fueled the city’s growth, attracting businesses and immigrants looking for work. Toledo played a vital role in the Underground Railroad, providing a safe haven for escaped slaves on their journey to freedom. During the Civil War, the city was a major supplier of arms and equipment for the Union Army. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Toledo became known for its glass production, earning the nickname “Glass City.” Today, Toledo is a diverse and vibrant city with a strong manufacturing and healthcare industry. Its cultural scene continues to thrive, with numerous museums, galleries, and performing arts venues attracting visitors from around the world.
