Whitney Hills encompasses the area bounded approximately by the streets Jermain, Wellesley, Sagamore (formerly Floramond), Inwood, Appledore, The Glen, and North Cove Blvd.) The area was once owned by a Judge named Herbert Whitney, formed from his family's farmland. He was an influential member of Toledo society, education and church life, who lived with his wife Louise, in a large home on the corner of Inwood and The Glen. Judge Whitney's family farm was developed into Jermain Park and Ottawa Park, along with an area formed by a number of the most classic streets in the old city. By the 1960s Whitney Hills and surrounding neighborhoods had been developed into a large suburb that included McKinley Elementary School, which fed into DeVilbiss High School.
