TOLEDO is located at the western end of Lake Erie on the banks of the Maumee River and the shores of Maumee Bay. In 1888, Edward Libbey founded the Libbey glass company here. The city is one of the most significant ports of the Great Lakes. Connected with the St. Lawrence Seaway, its port is one of the world's largest for bituminous coal shipment. The city is also the home of the University of Toledo. The famous Toledo Museum of Art is housed in a marble Neo-Classical building on the historic Old West End. The museum features one of the world's largest collections of ornamental glass.
