Point Place (Toledo, Ohio)

Point Place was originally part of Washington Township, Lucas County in the 1800s,[2] and was annexed into the city of Toledo, Ohio in 1937.

[5] However in 1937, Point Place was annexed by the city of Toledo as they promised paved roads, sidewalks, city services, and better police protection to deal with the growing problem of prohibition and gambling problems that the area experienced at the time.

[6] As a result, Point Place was no longer part of the Washington Township Police & Fire Department.

[5] On April 11th of 1965, Point Place endured one of the many tornadoes as part of the Palm Sunday Outbreak, which leveled many homes and businesses in the community.

Summit Street runs through the middle of Point Place and serves as the major center of commerce.
