Toledo is a city in Lewis County, Washington, United States. The community is situated on the Cowlitz River.
Named after a paddle steamer, Toledo began out of pioneer settlement, the Cowlitz Farm, and the beginnings of several ports known as Plomondon's Landing, Warbassport, and Cowlitz Landing. The community incorporated in 1892.
Toledo is home to an annual Cheese Days festival that celebrates the town's dairy history and the New Year's Eve Giant Cheese Ball Drop. In addition to nearby Gospodor Monument Park and Saint Francis Xavier Mission, several small parks and Ed Carlson Memorial Field are located in the city.
