The two states that fought over the strip of Toledo are Michigan and Ohio.
1 answer
In 1835 Michigan was denied becoming a state. They claimed 468 square miles of Ohio called "Toledo Strip". This was due to a poor understanding of geographical markers around the Great Lakes. Ohio and the territory of Michigan fought over the "Toledo Strip" in a battle called "The Toledo War"(1835-1836). Militias were formed, but there was only one report of a shot being fired. In December 1836 after being in a bad financial state as well as pressure from President Andrew Jackson, and Congress, Michigan agreed to give up the Toledo Strip and accept the Upper Peninsula as part of Michigan. It was thought that Michigan got a terrible deal until rich deposits of minerals and other natural resources were discovered there.

In 1835, there was a conflict between Michigan and Ohio over the port of Toledo. (It was almost an entirely bloodless war) In the outcome, Ohio got the Toledo strip and the port of Toledo, mainly because it was a state at the time and Michigan was a territory. However, although it had to give up the Toledo strip, the U.S. allowed it to become a state and granted it its current Upper Peninsula. At the time, Ohio had a better benefit with having Toledo. But, with the discovery of copper and iron in the Upper Peninsula, as well as plentiful timber, Michigan gained huge profit. So now, Michigan got the better deal after all.
