About Maumee and Northwest Ohio

About Maumee and Northwest Ohio

The city of Maumee rests in the beautiful Maumee River Valley, where many early Indian tribes made their homes.

Maumee was established early in the 1800s, and within the city or nearby area are many interesting historical sites and monuments, including the site of the battle of Fallen Timbers, Turkey Foot Rock, Fort Miami, Fort Meigs, and canal locks.

Many historic homes, some built as early as the 1820s, are still preserved and maintained as residential homes in Old Maumee. The Wolcott House Museum, operated by the Maumee Valley Historical Society, has collected on its grounds six historical buildings from the Maumee area that illustrate the history of the Maumee Valley from 1835 - 1901.

Just across the Maumee River is Perrysburg, the home of Fort Meigs, a sprawling log-and-earth fortification that became a focal point of the War of 1812. The British suffered their first setback of the Northwest Campaign when a gallant detachment of American Troops stood fast against the combined forces of the British and Canadian soldiers and Tecumseh's warriors.

Today, Maumee is home to beautiful neighborhoods and an uptown business section that reflect the charm of the city's historic heritage, with the enchantment of a 21st century small town atmosphere. Maumee's proximity to Toledo and Ann Arbor and the presence of Arrowhead Industrial Park within the city, make for a convenient location. Maumee is a modern, progressive community of 15,600 residents who host over 32,000 employees in the many businesses and industries located within the city limits.

Maumee's success in economic development provides a low tax rate and revenue growth resulting in a high quality of life. Maumee was rated #1 in a 1995 survey of Northwest Ohio communities that considered low tax rates, low crime rates, and housing values.

Maumee is a great place to live!
