Rossford, Ohio
Edward Ford of the Libbey-Owens-Ford Glass Company founded the great City of Rossford, Ohio. In 1898, Ford purchased 173 acres along the Maumee River to build the Edward Ford Plate Glass Company. As workers came to the factory, Ford named the resulting town “Rossford” by combining his name with the last name of his second wife, Caroline Ross.
Rossford is easily accessible and noted as the “Crossroads of America” where I-75 meets the Ohio Turnpike Exit 64. Major attractions in Toledo are only minutes away from Rossford hotels including Hollywood Casino-Toledo, the Toledo Zoo, Toledo Museum of Art, Fifth Third Field, Huntington Center and Imagination Station, to name a few. Local restaurants, entertainment, and great shopping at Bass Pro Shops, Camping World and your favorite national retailers will make your visit complete.
