Discover Fort Wayne
People lived where the St. Joseph and St. Marys rivers join to form the Maumee for as long as 10,000 years. In the 1690s the Miami founded Kekionga at the confluence, and it became the capital of the Miami nation. Jean Baptiste Bissot, Sieur de Vincennes, began visiting in 1702 and built the first Fort Miami as a small French trading post around 1706. The first census, in 1744, counted about 40 Frenchmen and 1,000 Miami.
More about Fort Wayne
France ceded the area to Britain in 1760. During Pontiac's Rebellion in 1763 Native nations took the fort, and for three decades there was no working fort at Kekionga, which was home to a mix of Miami, Delaware and Shawnee people, English and French traders, and frontier renegades. British influence returned in 1772. In 1780 French Canadian soldiers coming to help the American cause were killed nearby in La Balme's Defeat. Britain ceded the region to the United States in 1783, but the Western Confederacy of Native nations, headquartered at Kekionga, rejected the land treaties and raided the settlers pouring down the Ohio. After the Confederacy's defeat at the Battle of Fallen Timbers, General Anthony Wayne built Fort Wayne at the confluence in 1794, and the city grew up around it.
