Ottawa is a neighborhood in west central Toledo, Ohio, bordered by Secor Road to the East, Dorr Street to the South, Central Ave. to the North, and Reynolds Road to the West. It derives its name from the Ottawa Indians that settled in the area in the early 18th century, as well as Ottawa Park, a prominent recreational area located within the community.〔(Ottawa Indians - Ohio History Central - A product of the Ohio Historical Society )〕 The district features historic neighborhoods such as Old Orchard, Indian Hills and Westmoreland. Old Orchard and Indian Hills are parallel to the Village of Ottawa Hills and have similar architectural styles and multi-level single-family homes.〔(Ottawa Neighborhood Map )〕 Westmoreland is bordered by Bancroft Street, Parkside Boulevard and Upton Ave. It is characterized by architectural styles ranging from Colonial to French, with rounded, undulating streets and open miniparks.〔(WA1 )〕 ==History== In 1918, plans were made to move the Toledo Zoo from Walbridge Park to Ottawa Park, where it would "represent the finest and the third largest zoo in the United States." 〔The Toledo City Journal (Vol. 3, No. 29), July 20, 1918, p. 358〕 These plans, however, were never carried out. Residents began to live in the area in the 1920s and 30s, as several wealthy residents began to venture outside the central city. The relocation of the University of Toledo to its current Bancroft Street location in 1931 cemented the neighborhood's identity as an area of education and leisure.〔(The University of Toledo History and Traditions )〕 The migration of African-American residents to this area began in the early 1960s, with desegregation and improved job opportunities. Areas such as BUMA (Bancroft-Upton-Monroe) and Auburn-Delaware are predominantly black, and have a mix of middle and low-income earning residents. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ottawa, Toledo, Ohio」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
