About Ottawa Hills, OH

The Village of Ottawa Hills was developed beginning in 1915. John North Willys, president of the Overland Company, acquired approximately 1,200 acres (4.9 km 2) beginning at the intersection of Bancroft Street and Indian Road and extending along the Ottawa River to Central Avenue. He started development that year, as reported by The Toledo Times: Landscape architects, city planning engineers, landscape gardeners, and other experts, backed by an army of workmen equipment with the latest machinery and tools have been steadily at work on the tract for over a year. They have practically completed the improvement of the first 100-acre (0.40 km 2) unit of the development, lying at Arrowhead Point (former known as 5 Point). This is at the intersection of Bancroft Street, Secor and Indian Roads, a 20 minute ride from the business district.
