Allen County, County seat in northeastern Indiana, United States
Allen County spans 660 square miles across northeastern Indiana, containing Fort Wayne at the intersection of three major rivers: Maumee, St. Joseph, and St. Marys.
The county was established in 1824 and named after Colonel John Allen, a Kentucky state senator who lost his life during the War of 1812.
Allen County houses multiple museums, theaters, and educational institutions, including Purdue University Fort Wayne and the Allen County Public Library genealogy department.
Fort Wayne International Airport serves the county with regular flights, while an extensive network of highways connects the region to major cities.
The county maintains an active Old Order Amish community near Grabill and New Haven, where residents speak an Alsatian dialect and follow traditional practices.
