Fort Wayne, County seat in northeastern Indiana, United States
Fort Wayne extends across the confluence of three rivers - the St. Joseph, St. Marys, and Maumee - creating a natural transportation hub in northeastern Indiana.
The United States Army established Fort Wayne in 1794 at the location of Kekionga, a significant Miami tribe settlement that controlled regional trade routes.
The Embassy Theatre and Fort Wayne Philharmonic Orchestra contribute to the performing arts scene, while Science Central advances scientific education in northeastern Indiana.
The city maintains an extensive network of parks, recreational facilities, and educational institutions, including Purdue University Fort Wayne and multiple public libraries.
Fort Wayne's position at the intersection of three rivers made it a crucial military outpost and contributed to its development as Indiana's second-largest city.
