The Toledo War (1835–1836), also known as the Ohio-Michigan War, was the bloodless
boundary dispute between the
U.S. state of
Ohio and the adjoining territory of
Michigan. The dispute originated from varying interpretations of conflicting state and federal legislation, passed between 1787 and 1805, which in turn resulted largely from a poor understanding of the location of certain features of the
Great Lakes. This caused the governments of Ohio and Michigan to both claim
sovereignty over a 468 square mile (1,210 km²) region along the border, now known as the Toledo Strip. When Michigan pressed for
statehood in the early
1830s it sought to include the disputed territory within its boundaries but Ohio's Congressional delegation was able to halt Michigan's admission to the Union.
