When European explorers arrived, the area was home to the Ouiatenon, or Wea, a Miami people. In 1717 the French built Fort Ouiatenon across the Wabash River and three miles south of present Lafayette, and it became a center of trade among fur trappers, merchants and Native people. An annual reenactment, the Feast of the Hunters' Moon, is held there each autumn.
The trader William Digby platted the town of Lafayette in May 1825, and it became the seat of the new Tippecanoe County the next year. Like many frontier towns it was named for the Marquis de Lafayette, who was touring the United States in 1824 and 1825. In its early days Lafayette was a shipping center on the Wabash. In 1838 Henry Leavitt Ellsworth, the first U.S. Patent Commissioner, published a booklet promoting the farmland of the upper Wabash Valley, and by 1845 he had bought 93,000 acres around Lafayette and moved from Connecticut to sell it, distributing broadsides by 1847 seeking farmers to buy. He became president of the Tippecanoe County Agricultural Society in April 1851, despite local resentment of what was called "the Yale Crowd," but lost a race for the state House that year. Ellsworth Street and the Ellsworth Historic District are named for him. Sources Wikipedia: Lafayette, Indiana
