Images of America: Sylvania
By Gaye
E. Gindy and Trini L. Wenninger
|
|
 Book
Description:
Sylvania originated where
Ten Mile Creek and Ottawa Creek meet, an area
favored by the Ottawa Indians. Sparsely settled at
first, Sylvania grew after the War of 1812.
Increased settlement, construction of better
roads, and expanding railroads brought many
opportunities to Sylvania. The Territorial Road
that passed through Sylvania became the first
thoroughfare between Toledo and Chicago, and the
Erie and Kalamazoo Railroad laid track through
Sylvania from Toledo and Adrian, Michigan. This
book provides a glimpse into Sylvania's rich
history through photographs of the people, events,
and businesses that made Sylvania the great place
to live that it is today.
