Did You Know?
 

The city of Sylvania was named for its profusion of trees.The heavily forested location prompted adoption of the name Sylvania (from the Latin silvanus or forest).Sylvania was founded in 1833 by Judge William Wilson and General David White. 

During the early years of Sylvania, the town served the farms and general residential community with saw mills, tannery, barrel stave factory, grist mills, livery stables and blacksmith shops as the center of rural life.

Each Arbor Day the community is involved in planting trees for the future and Sylvania has proudly received the "Tree City U.S.A." award each year since 1982. The first school, erected in 1834, served until 1844 when the Old Stone Academy was built.

Incorporated into a village in 1867, Sylvania reached city status on January 1, 1961.
