of Perrysburg in 1810. Most settlers fled from the area
during the War of 1812, but returned after the war ended.
The town was reestablished as the “Orleans of the
North.” It was officially platted in 1816 and named
Perrysburgh by Spafford in honor of Commodore Oliver Hazard
Perry’s naval victory over the British fleet in Lake
Erie during the War of 1812.
