Twenty miles to the west of the Ohio border and fifty miles to the south of Michigan lies a city that had its origins in a U.S. fort: Fort Wayne, Indiana. Today, Fort Wayne and its metropolitan area is home to over half a million people and is the second largest city in the state; however, it began as a military fort over 216 years ago, in 1794, under the auspices of General "Mad" Anthony Wayne, a statesman from the American Revolutionary War.
Wayne was building forts throughout the region near Kekionga, a village populated by the Miami tribe of Native Americans. Quickly, the fort established itself as a major trading post for the European settlers.

Fort Wayne, though, was not the first fort built in the area. The French arrived beforehand, building Fort Miamis, 313 years ago in 1697, also a part of a series of forts that stretched from Quebec in Canada to St. Louis in Missouri. After the original commander of the French outpost, Jean Baptiste Bissot, died a new fort was built, supplanting Fort Miamis. At the time of Fort St. Philippe des Miamis, the census showed that the population of the area consisted of forty French men and a thousand Miami Native Americans.
In the next few years, the area became a part of the British Empire after the French were defeated in the French and Indian war. At this point, the fort became simply Fort Miami. The Native Americans rose up against the British and took the Fort, regaining control of Kekionga, for over three decades. However, after that time, President George Washington sent in the U.S. Army to take back Indiana. "Mad Anthony" was in charge when the last of three battles was fought, and so the latest fort to be built in the area became known as Fort Wayne.
In the intervening two hundred years, Fort Wayne has grown local industries which are based on manufacturing, insurance, health care, defense, education, and logistics, and over the years, has on an award for being an All-America City three times: 1982, 1998, and 2009.
Anthony Wayne lived from January 1, 1745 until December 15, 1796, dying at the relatively young age of 51. Both his life in the military where he rose to the rank of brigadier general; his personality was tempermental and outspoken, earning him the nickname of "Mad Anthony." He's best known, though for his victory at a place known as Stony Point, where he commanded the Corps of Light Infantry. The attack occurred July 16, 1779, using bayonets-only. He attacked the British at Stony Point, fighting three columns of light infantry. The attack was completed in roughly thirty minutes.
Visitors to Fort Wayne may find a statue dedicated to this American Revolutionary Army General in the city's Friemann Square.
