There were 3 American forts built in Fort Wayne.  The current fort is a replica of the one constructed by Major John Whistler and his men during 1815 — 1816 & was the last fort to stand at the junction of the St. Mary's, St. Joseph, and Maumee Rivers.  It was designed purely for defense against Native Americans, and could be comfortably defended by a relatively small number of men.
