Description

The Great Black Swamp may have slowed the settlement of northwest Ohio, but it couldn't stop a little town south of Toledo called Bowling Green. It blossomed into an agricultural gold mine with natural gas and oil booms that prospered the modest Wood County seat late in the Nineteenth Century. Now as the home of internationally known Bowling Green State University, the National Championship Tractor Pulling Competition, and the Black Swamp Arts Festival, this formerly uninhabitable swamp continues to attract its fair share of attention. In this pictorial history you will learn how Bowling Green beat the odds to become the city everybody wants to revisit.;Black Swamp settlement : 1833 to 1867 -- Prosperous Wood County seat : 1868 to 1884 -- Crystal city : 1885 to 1909 -- Indomitable enterprise : university town 1910 to present -- Mentor of citizens -- Black Swamp fun spot.
