Sandusky was established in the early 19th century and developed as a [[port]] city at the head of [[Sandusky Bay]]. It is home to [[Cedar Point]], one of the most popular [[amusement park]]s in the world, as well as [[water park]]s including [[Cedar Point Shores]], [[Castaway Bay (Sandusky, Ohio)|Castaway Bay]], [[Great Wolf Resorts|Great Wolf Lodge]], and [[Kalahari Resorts|Kalahari]]. The headquarters of [[Cedar Fair Entertainment Company]] were located in the city until it merged with [[Six Flags]], who retains some administrative offices in Sandusky.

Line 109 ⟶ 127:
As the 20th century progressed, the economy of Sandusky came to focus mainly on tourism and fishing. Since the late 20th century, Battery Park Marina was developed on the original site of the MR&LE Railroad after restructuring of the industry reduced traffic on the line. The tracks that ran through downtown Sandusky have since been removed. Most of the downtown industrial area is also being redeveloped for other purposes, including mainly [[marina]] dockage.
The [[National Arbor Day Foundation]] has designated Sandusky as a [[Tree City USA]].
