Sylvania originated where Ten Mile Creek and Ottawa Creek meet, an area favored by the Ottawa Indians. Sparsely settled at first, Sylvania grew after the War of 1812. Increased settlement, construction of better roads, and expanding railroads brought many opportunities to Sylvania. The Territorial Road that passed through Sylvania became the first thoroughfare between Toledo and Chicago, and the Erie and Kalamazoo Railroad laid track through Sylvania from Toledo and Adrian, Michigan. This book provides a glimpse into Sylvania's rich history through photographs of the people, events, and businesses that made Sylvania the great place to live that it is today.

Join the author in reliving Sylvania's over 180 years of history from footpaths to expressways and beyond, in volume four of an eight volume set. With 30 years of research she has included every subject imaginable that helped bring Sylvania to where they are today, with excellent schools, over-the-top parks and recreation, rich beautiful homes, commercial and industrial businesses and a quaint historical dowtown that looks like it was planned by Norman Rockwell himself. This book is a treasure trove of information for the thousands who have ancestors that once lived and helped Sylvania grow through these years. Located in northwestern Ohio, Sylvania is a suburb of Toledo, Ohio and for many years has been known as "the fastest growing suburb in Lucas County." A once rural farm community, between both the city and township they have grown from a combined 2,220 residents in 1910, to 48,487 in 2010. Over a short period of time the land has transformed into beautiful subdivisions of grand houses, so that now their subdivision names are all that remain to remind them of their once dense forests and sprawling farmlands. No longer can Sylvania be called the "bedroom community" of Toledo, because over the last 50 years they have done a lot more than sleep.

Women Will Evangelize the World "Leadership is influence" John Maxwell Yes, leadership is influence, and women have got it. And behind every great man is a good woman. The woman was created to be a help meet for the man. Man's helper. But when it comes to the devil, woman is a major player of the household. That means if the devil is to destroy Adam's family, he has to get the woman in his corner, agreeing with him. Therefore, when the devil, Satan, got the woman, Eve; Adam was not a match. Satan had the whole family: Adam, Eve, Cain, Abel, and the human race at large. Therefore, Mama Bear, the woman, is angry with her number-one enemy, the devil, and is now ready to evangelize and gather her children across the world, since Jesus has conquered and destroyed the power of the devil. God spoke to me and said, "Women will evangelize the world." Remember, history repeats itself. If the devil used woman to get Adam's family, it is obvious God will use women to gather Adam's family back to God's kingdom.
