Maumee (/mɔːˈmiː/ maw-MEE) is a city in Lucas County, Ohio, United States.

Located along the Maumee River, it is a suburb about 10 miles (16 km) southwest of Toledo.

Maumee was declared an All-America City by the National Civic League in June 2006.

Throughout much of the eighteenth century, French, British and American forces struggled for control of the lower Maumee River as a major transportation artery linking East and West through Lake Erie.

Following the American Revolutionary War, Native Americans of the region, including the Odawa, Ojibwe and Potawatomie, and Shawnee, made alliances in what became called the Northwest Territory by the United States, which claimed it from the British after gaining independence.

Promoters arrived who were eager to make a fortune in selling and developing western lands.

In 1817 a town plat was laid out at the Foot of the Rapids of the Maumee River, and within a decade, the settlement was gaining recognition as a major trans-shipment point connecting Lake Erie and the land to the west.

Jessup Scott, a noted town promoter, predicted that Maumee would become the "great city of the West," surpassing all rivals.

By mid-century Maumee was a flourishing center of river trade, commerce and shipbuilding.

Nearly twenty mercantile companies crowded the three miles (5 km) of ship docks and competed for the retail and wholesale trade.

In addition, the railroad provided faster and cheaper means of transportation than river traffic and drew off business.

Maumee has expanded its original boundaries, and the population is now more than 13,700 residents, representing a continuing downturn from the 15,000+ high of the early 1970s.

Maumee's neighborhoods retain their small town flavor; in addition, many historic homes and buildings of the early residents still stand along the tree-lined streets of the architectural districts.

The next level is Maumee Intermediate School, which includes all students in the district in grades 4–5.
