Michigan troops made heir headquarters here during the bloodless Toledo "war" in 1835.

Intense rivalry between the settlers of the two states fanned a controversy near flame. Original U. S. surveys had put in Monroe County the mouth of the Maumee River around which Toledo was taking form. When Ohio started the Miami Canal it obtained from Congress a new survey which showed these lands in Ohio.

Months of disturbance ensued. Ohio partisans were seized on the contested frontier and tried in the Monroe County Court House. Militia of both states rushed to the border but never fought.

The "war" ended with Michigan accepting the Upper Peninsula in exchange for the Toledo strip of Monroe County and with the admission of Michigan to statehood in 1837.
