History of Toronto

The area was first settled in the 19th century, when it was known as Newburg's Landing. When the railway was built, however, the area's name was changed to Sloanes Station. In 1881, following a vote, the town was incorporated under its present name, inspired by Toronto, Ontario. The name was suggested by pioneer manufacturer Thomas M. Daniels and his business associate, W. F. Dunsbaugh—a Toronto, Ontario native—who believed it was a place worth emulating. Along with its Canadian counterpart, it is one of only two incorporated cities in the world named Toronto.In the 20th century, the town became a center of heavy industry with a number of large factories in and around the town. In the 1980s and 1990s the city, along with the rest of the region, declined sharply as manufacturing jobs left. Titanium Metals Corporation, the world's largest supplier of titanium metals, is the major employer in the city.↑ Doyle, Joseph Beatty (1910). 20th Century History of Steubenville and Jefferson County, Ohio and Representative Citizens.
