 The relationship between White and Wilson did not last, and when the boundary dispute that lead to the largely bloodless Toledo War began in 1834, they began splitting the lands they had purchased, platting their own towns.That year, White established the first area school in Whiteford, and platted the township there one year later in 1835.Wilson presented the original plat for Sylvania in June 1836, with the town of Whiteford directly adjacent.
