There is Much to Enjoy About Perrysburg

Welcome!

In 1816 the U.S. government laid out our town on the banks of the Maumee River - the only one other than Washington D.C. so created - and it was named for Olizer Hazard Perry. Commodore Perry's naval victory, not far away in the Battle of Lake Erie, helped bring an end to British occupation of American soil.

A bronze statue of Commodore Perry stands at the head of Louisiana Avenue overlooking today's historic downtown. Downtown Perrysburg is the center of the historic district, with its impressive collection of commercial and residential Victorian architecture. As in days gone by, downtown Perrysburg is filled with shops and restaurants brimming with enticements. But today Perrysburg has expanded into many thriving neighborhoods, attractions and shopping areas.
