SIR :- As one of the principal business men of Tiffin, Ohio, enjoying the respect and confidence of the people, for integrity in public, and high social qualities in private life, the editor of this volume respectfully dedi- cates its pages to you, hoping that your prosperity and usefulness of the past may be continued in the future.
GEO. P. MONAGON, Editor.
INTRODUCTION.
0
The object of the publisher in the preparation of this volume, was to furnish to the people of Seneca and San- dusky Counties, a valuable book of reference, as well as a sufficient minute examination into the early history of each town with a desire to place upon the new page, at the beginning of another century, a record of the past, as well as a showing of the present. It is but natural for every town or city to sound her praise of the many ad- vantages she possesses over her neighbors. So let it be remembered that it is the great spirit of competition which develops and builds our cities, our railroads, and in fact moves the world, and no good citizen will suffer her to remain silent.
Thanks are due to many gentlemen, for courtesies and valuable assistance rendered in the compilation of this work, and to the press of Seneca and Sandusky Counties for their kind notices.
It is believed that an impartial examination will sat- isfy any one as to the general correctness and utility of this work. How far the publisher succeeded in the de- sign of producing a useful book, will be for the public to decide; and should any errors or omissions be discov- ered, it is hoped that a reasonable degree of allowacce will be made for them, when the difficulties of collecting and arranging such a vast amount of information as is here given are considered, and I now with pleasure pre- sent the results of those efforts for the patronage of a generous public, indulging in the hope that they will overlook imperfection and give credit where credit is due.

FOSTORIA.
A Slight History of our Foundation and Prosperity.
Prior to March 15, 1820, the wild waste of woodland which covered the entire portion of township 2, range 13, remained a wilderness, untouched by the woodman's ax.
It was surveyed into sections and quarter sections in that year, and until March, 1832, but little progress was made toward the advancement of civilization : it was then that by order of the Board of Commissioners, the original township No. 2, range 13, was constituted a legal township and known by the name of Louden. This township possessed many natural advantages. It is well watered and the soil cannot be excelled for pro- ductiveness. The township was fortunate to have been settled by men of determination, backbone and stick-to- activeness, who cheerfully endured the hardships and privations of frontier life, and with main strength and weight of muscle, succeeded in clearing themselves rich and valuable farms from this once densely wooded country.
On the 3Ist of August, 1832, Roswell Crocker, father of Ross Crocker, our real estate agent, caused to be surveyed on section 6, in this township, a town, to which
2
FOSTORIA HISTORICAL.
was given the name of Rome. It was surveyed and platted by David Risdon, who was one of the first set- tlers of the country, and who had acted as County Surveyor for a number of years. Its situation was at the junction of three roads, viz : Lower Sandusky and Fort Findlay, Defiance and Tiffin, and Bucyrus and Perrys- burg.
About the same time a rival village found birth, hav- ing been surveyed and platted by the same man, and was named Risdon, complimentary to that gentleman. This embryo city was owned by one J. Gorsuch and lay almost joining Rome. Up to the year 1840 the popula- tion numbered 39, and it contained one tavern, three stores and a steam carding machine.
Little or nothing was accomplished toward the settle- ment of Rome until 1834, when C. W. Foster erected a double log cabin and opened a dry goods store, using one-half as a dwelling. The principle citizens consisted of C. W. Foster, dry goods merchant, George Hamp- shire and John Cooper, blacksmiths, - Johnson, cabinet maker, and a carpenter.
In 1836, a second dry goods store was opened by Jas. Anderson, on Tiffin st., in a log building, but was soon moved to Main street, and occupied the place where the Hays House now stands when Mr Anderson admitted a partner, and the business was done in the name of An- derson & Lockwood.
In the winter of 1837 and the spring of 1838, the virgin purity of this infant Rome was dimmed by the unhappy advent of two sharpers known as Brooks & Bird, who commenced the secret manufacture of spurious Mexican dollars, and before the citizens were aware of what was going on in their midst, a large amount of this coin had found its way into the hands of the community. The counterfeiters were arrested and placed in confinement at Tiffin, but subsequently they broke jail and left the country.
During the summer of 1837 a steam saw mill was
3
FOSTORIA HISTORICAL.
built by R. Crocker, to which he soon attached a flouring mill. In the following year the first brick building was erected by Marshal Hays, a story and a half edifice, 28 by 30, which was at that time the finest residence in the city.
In 1840 a plan was conceived by C. W. Foster, D. Hays and others to build a plank road from Rome to Fremont, which was put into execution the following year by the same parties. The population at this time reach- ed the sum of 80, and rapidly increasing, soon began to appear openings for professional and business men, laborers and mechanics, until in 1848 the population reached the aggregate of 300 ; it contained 50 dwellings, 2 churches, 2 taverns, 3 stores, I warehouse, 3 tailor shops, 5 blacksmith shops and 2 practicing physicians.
In the meantime the village of Risdon was flourishing almost as rapidly as Rome, and the two began to crowd each other as they enlarged, so by mutual consent they were consolidated, and the new village was called Fostoria, in honor of C. W. Foster, the principle bus- iness man and most influential citizen in the town.
A new mercantile firm of D. Hays & Co., sprang up in 1845. Shortly after Mr. Hays commenced his legal profession, and has continued with marked success ever since.
The city of Fostoria from this time forth increased with incredible rapidity, the adjoining forests were cut down and cleared up, new business blocks sprung up, a new brick hotel was built, which accommodated the traveling public in first class style-Thomas Hays, prop.
In 1859, the L. E. and L. Railroad, then the Fremont and Indiana, was completed from Fremont to Findlay. In 1860 a newspaper was established by Jacob Foster, called the Fostoria News. The population at this time had increased to about 1,500; fine farms were being rap- idly opened out, low lands were being made valuable by means of drainage, and business began to wear a brisk and healthy appearance.

FOSTORIA HISTORICAL.
In the year 1870, Hon. C. Foster, son of C. W. Foster, of this place, was elected to the XLII Congress, and has been the Representative of the 10th District in that body ever since, having been re-elected last fall to his fourth term.
In 1875, about the time of the famous Woman's Cru- sade, a temperance paper was established, but as a Tem- perance journal, like the Crusade, its career was short- lived. In the following year, in the face of two establish- ed weekly journals, the Fostoria DEMOCRAT raised its " still, small voice " in the support of Democratic princi- ples and the general good of the community at large, and at the present time, under the management of Meyer & Hays, stands on an equal footing with the journal estab- lished about the time the editors of the DEMOCRAT were born.
Fostorir is now one of the livest cities of its size in the State. Population amounting to over four thousand, it contains 6 Churches, and its system of Public Schools, under the management of Prof. E. T. Hartley, cannot be excelled. The principal dry-goods establishments, - Weaver and Adams, L. J. Hissong, W. G. Upmeyer, W. H. Grapes and Co., and Foster and Snyder Bros. Brokers .- Emerine and Son and Crocker and Manecke. Bankers .- Foster and Co.
The city contains some of the finest residences in the State, and in general accomodation of the traveling com- munity, and the laboring classes finds no equal. It's location is at the junction of five great Rail Road lines which makes it one of the grandest shipping points in Ohio. Here the poor man finds no difficulty in procur- ing a home, and Fostoria bids fair to soon rank with any inland city in the United States.
The above historical sketch of Fostoria was furnished us by Messrs. Meyer & Hays, the genial young pro- prietors of the Democrat who have our thanks.
