Its northern border is the southern border of the state of Michigan. The name "Sylvania" is borrowed from the Latin ''sylvan'' or '' sylva'', meaning "forest land", owing to the dense forests that once made up the region, part of the Great Black Swamp. History General David White is considered the founder of Sylvania as the first pioneer settler and town supervisor, originally from Palmyra, New York.

Pacemaker (running)
A pacemaker or pacesetter, sometimes informally called a rabbit, is a runner who leads a middle- or long-distance running event for the first section to ensure a fast time and avoid excessive tactical racing. Pacemakers are frequently employed by race organisers for world record attempts with specific instructions for lap times. Some athletes have essentially become professional pacemakers. A competitor who chooses the tactic of leading in order to win is called a front-runner rather than a pacemaker. Pacemakers may be used to avoid the tactics of deception that are possible in competition by those who, for example, race away from the start line (and are likely to subsequently slow down), giving the other runners the impression that they are far behind. A trusted team of pacemakers who are paid to keep the runners at a speed that they can manage for the rest of the race become useful in such a situation. Pacemakers are also used on world record attempts in order to make sur ...
