Toledo was formerly called Benners. A post office was established as Benners in 1898, the name was changed to Toledo in 1910, and the post office closed in 1942. The present name is a transfer from Toledo, Ohio. Little remains of the original community since much of the surrounding area was given over to the Mark Twain National Forest.
