During the 18th and early 19th centuries, the French, British and U.S. forces built and occupied a number of forts at Vincennes, Indiana. These outposts commanded a strategic position on the Wabash River. The names of the installations were changed by the various ruling parties, and the forts were considered strategic in the French and Indian War, the American Revolutionary War, the Northwest Indian War and the War of 1812. The last fort was abandoned in 1816.

En 1702, le lieutenant-général de Montréal, Sieur Juchereau, fonde un poste de traite pour le commerce de la peau de bison avec les Amérindiens. Le poste fut érigé 50 miles au sud de l'actuelle ville de Vincennes. En quelques années, le comptoir devient un important lieu d'échange pour la fourrure. Mais à la suite de la mort de son principal exploitant, le sieur Juchereau, le poste est abandonné au profit du fort Mobile première capitale de la Louisiane française. (fr) Fort Vincennes fu una postazione militare costruita dai francesi nel Settecento nell'attuale stato dell'Indiana. , facente funzione sotto l'autorià della colonia francese della Louisiana, costruì il forte tra il 1731 e il 1732. Il luogo della postazione fu designato per assicurare la bassa alla Francia, principalmente per rafforzare i legami con alcune tribù indiane. Fu nominato in questo modo, per l'appunto, in onore di Vincennes, il quale venne catturato e bruciato al palo durante una guerra contro gli indiani nel 1735. Nel 1736 assunse il commando della postazione. Ricostruì il forte, lo fece diventare un maggior emporio mercantilie e reclutò mercanti francesi per attirare i nativi ad insediarsi in loco. Attorno al 1750 i ristemarono il loro villaggio nelle vicinanze del forte. (it)
