About Port of Fort Recovery

Fort Recovery is a historic canal location in Ohio, USA. It was established as a U.S. Army fort in the 1790s along the Wabash River. The site served as a strategic point during the Northwest Indian War and for treaty negotiations.

Background
Fort Recovery was a United States Army fort ordered built by General "Mad" Anthony Wayne during what is now termed the Northwest Indian War. Constructed from late 1793 and completed in March 1794, the fort was built along the Wabash River, within two miles of what became the Ohio state border with Indiana. A detachment of Wayne's Legion of the United States held off an attack from combined Indian forces on June 30, 1794. The fort was used as a reference in drawing treaty lines for the 1795 Treaty of Greenville, and for later settlement. The fort was abandoned in 1796.
