FOSTORIA

This article appears in Volume V10, Page 734 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: FLA-FRA
FOSTORIA , a city, partly in Seneca, partly in Hancock, and partly in
Wood
  county,
Ohio
 , U.S.A., 35 M. S. by E. of Toledo. Pop. (1890) 7070; (1900) 7730 (584 foreign-born); (1910) 9597, It is served by the
Baltimore
  &
Ohio
 , the New
York
 , Chicago & St Louis, the Ohio Central; the Lake Erie & Western, and the Hocking Valley railways, and by two interurban electric lines. The city is situated in an agricultural region, and oil abounds in the vicinity. Among the city's manufactures are glass, flour, planing mill products, brass and iron, carriages, barrels, incandescent lamps, carbons, wire nails and fences, automobile engines and parts, railway torpedoes and muslin underwear. The waterworks are owned and operated by the municipality. In 1832, upon the coming of the first settlers, two towns, Rome and Risdon, were laid out on the site of what is now Fostoria. A bitter rivalry arose between them, but they were finally united under one government, and the city thus formed was named in
honour of Charles W. Foster, whose son Charles Foster (18281go4),
governor
  of the state from 188o to 1884 and secretary of the United States treasury from 1891 to 1893, did much to pro-mote its growth. Fostoria was chartered as a city in 1854.
