time, Lake See also:Side Park (22 acres), See also:Reservoir Park (13 acres), See also:Piqua Park (i See also:acre), and Old Fort Park ( acre), which is on the site of Old Fort Wayne. The educational institutions include the See also:German See also:Concordia Collegium (Lutheran), founded in 1839, and having 220 students in 1908, and the See also:state school for feeble-minded youth (1879). The city has a See also:Carnegie library. Fort Wayne is one of the most important railway centres in the See also:Middle See also:West, and several railways maintain here their See also:principal See also:car and repair shops, which add greatly to the value of its manufacturing See also:industries; in 1905 it ranked first among the cities of the state in the value of cars constructed and repaired by See also:steam-railway companies. The other manufactories include foundries and See also:machine shops, See also:iron and See also:steel See also:mills, See also:knitting mills, planing mills, See also:sash and See also:door, car-See also:wheel, See also:electrical machinery, and woodenware factories and See also:flour mills.

The See also:Miami See also:Indians had several villages in the immediate neighbourhood, and the principal one, Kekionaga (Miami See also:Town or See also:Great Miami See also:Village), was situated on the E. See also:bank of the St Joseph river, within the limits of the See also:present city. On the E. bank of the St Mary's a See also:French trading See also:post was built about 1680. In 1749–1750 the French fort (Fort Miami) was moved to the E. bank of the St Joseph. The See also:English occupied the fort in 176o and See also:Pontiac captured it in May 1763, after a See also:siege of more than three months. In 1790 the Miami villages were destroyed. In See also:September 1794 General See also:Anthony Wayne built on the S. bank of the Maumee river the stockade fort which was named in his honour, the site of which forms the present Old Fort Park. By the treaty of See also:Greenville, concluded by General Wayne on the 3rd of See also:August 1795, a piece of land 6 sq. m. in area, including the See also:tract of the Miami towns, was ceded to the See also:United States, and See also:free passage to Fort Wayne and down the Maumee to Lake See also:Erie was guaranteed to the See also:people of the United States by the Indians. By the treaty of Fort Wayne, concluded by General W. H. See also:Harrison on the 7th of See also:June 1803, the tract about See also:Vincennes reserved to the United States by the-treaty of Greenville was described and defined; by the second treaty of Fort Wayne, concluded by Harrison on the 3oth of September 18091 the Indians sold to the United States about 2,900,000 acres of land, mostly S.E. of the Wabash river. In September 1813 Fort Wayne was besieged by Indians, who withdrew on the arrival, on the 12th of September, of General Harrison with about 2700 men from See also:Kentucky and See also:Ohio. The fort was abandoned on the 19th of See also:April 1819 and no trace of it remains. The first permanent See also:settlement here was made in 1815, and the village was an important See also:fur-trading See also:depot until 183o. The opening of the Wabash & Erie See also:canal in 1843 stimulated its growth. A town was platted and was made the county-seat in 1824; and in 1840 Fort Wayne was chartered as a city.
