The natives in this area included the Miami and Algonquin tribes that date back to the 17th century. The early French traders settled in the area in the late 17th century near the Great Lakes setting up a trading post, then later building the first fort, Fort Miami., which was later renamed Fort St Philippe de Miamis. France eventually ceded the fort to the British in 1760. It was retaken by the Indians during Pontiac’s rebellion and remained under the Miami for three decades.Indiana received state-hood in 1816 and by 1819 the federal office was set up to sell local land. Fort Wayne was platted and named in 1819 and named in honor of General Wayne who won an important battle against the Indians. Population at the time of the city’s beginning was just 300.Places to Eat in Fort Wayne
