- Fort Wayne was a series of three successive military log stockades existing between 1794 and 1819 in the Miami Indian village of Kekionga, on the portage between the St. Mary's and St. Joseph Rivers in northeastern Indiana, in what is now the city of Fort Wayne. The fort succeeded the original Fort Miami, which originated as a French trading outpost around 1706. The first fort with that name was built in 1794 by Captain Jean François Hamtramck under orders from General "Mad" Anthony Wayne as part of the campaign against the Miami Indians during the Northwest Indian War. It was constructed to secure the territory gained in the Battle of Fallen Timbers, in which Wayne had recently been victorious, and was named after him. Wayne may have chosen the name himself—the fort was dedicated the day after he left it. The fort was officially occupied by the US Army on October 21, 1794. It later saw service in the War of 1812. After the war, settlements started growing up around the fort. The fort was a basic stockade with few buildings. The original site was located near the present-day intersection of Berry and Clay streets. The fort was abandoned in 1819 with the cessation of Indian hostilities, and the modern city of Fort Wayne was platted in 1823. A replica of the fort as it existed in 1815 (called "The Old Fort") was created in a different location in the city, and is now a tourist attraction. (en)
- Les forts de Fort Wayne sont une dénomination pour présenter plusieurs installations militaires établies au confluent des rivières Saint-Joseph et Sainte-Marie et la rivière Maumee. Ces forts furent régulièrement construits par les Français ou les Britanniques puis pris ou détruits par les uns ou les autres au cours du XVIIIe siècle, avant de devenir un fort des États-Unis. Le premier fort fut français et s'appela Fort Miamis. Le second fort fut Américain et s'appela Fort Wayne. (fr)
