1837: The City of Toledo, Ohio is chartered. Toledo's first tax levy will soon follow in April.

Although the villages of Port Lawrence and Vistula voted to merge and form Toledo in 1833, Toledo, Ohio did not receive a city charter until 1827, after the settlement of the Toledo War, a boundary dispute between Ohio and Michigan territory.
