The history of Fort Wayne is deeply rooted in its connection to the
three rivers that converge at its center: the Maumee, St. Mary's,
and St. Joseph Rivers. This abundance of waterways provided great
access and trading opportunities for the Fort Wayne area. However,
their meeting place, the point at which the St. Mary's and the St.
Joseph join to form the headwaters of the Maumee, served as a
frequent flood plain and constantly evolving landscape. While
humans declined to set up permanent settlements on the Fort Wayne
"thumb," it hosted many important events. From the flood of 1790 to
the circus grounds of the 1850s, to the first night baseball game
of 1883 to a depression area shantytown of the 1930s, the rich
legacy of the Headwaters is a vital part of the fabric of Fort
Wayne's history. Today, through the efforts of the Fort Wayne
community and the Headwaters Flood Control and Park project, the
area has been transformed into one of the most forward thinking
city park projects in the country, providing a home for many area
festivals and a beautiful addition to the downtown landscape of
Fort Wayne.
