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. The present-day village of [[Fort Recovery, Ohio]] developed around the fort and along the river. It includes sites and monuments to commemorate the fort and battles in the area.
