Indiana Institute of Technology

Concordia College was an educational institution of the Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod (LCMS) whose main purpose was to prepare men to enter one of the synod's seminaries. It was founded as a German-style gymnasium (i.e., a combined high school and junior college) in Perry County, Missouri, in 1839. It was moved to St. Louis, Missouri, in 1847, and ultimately to Fort Wayne, Indiana, in 1861. In 1935, the high school department of the school was separated from the junior college to form Concordia Lutheran High School. Concordia College was closed in 1957 when the LCMS opened Concordia Senior College on a new campus in Fort Wayne..The former campus was purchased by the Indiana Institute of Technology.

The Harmar campaign was an attempt by the United States Army to subdue confederated Native Americans nations in the Northwest Territory that were seen as hostile in Autumn 1790. The campaign was led by General Josiah Harmar and is considered a significant campaign of the Northwest Indian War. The campaign ended with a series of battles on 19–22 October 1790 near the Fort Miami and Miami village of Kekionga. These were all overwhelming victories for the Native Americans and are sometimes collectively referred to as Harmar's Defeat.

Kekionga (meaning "blackberry bush"), also known as Kiskakon or Pacan's Village, was the capital of the Miami tribe. It was located at the confluence of the Saint Joseph and Saint Marys rivers to form the Maumee River on the western edge of the Great Black Swamp in present-day Indiana. Over their respective decades of influence from colonial times to after the American Revolution, French and Indian Wars, and the Northwest Indian Wars, the French, British and Americans all established trading posts and forts at the large village, originally known as Fort Miami, due to its key location on the portage connecting Lake Erie to the Wabash and Mississippi rivers. The European-American town of Fort Wayne, Indiana started as a settlement around the American Fort Wayne stockade after the War of 1812.

The Rivergreenway is the backbone of burgeoning Fort Wayne Trails network in Fort Wayne, Indiana and the surrounding area. The Rivergreenway consists of nearly 25-miles of connected trails through a linear park following alongside or near the City's three rivers: St. Joseph River, St. Marys River, and Maumee River. In 2009, the Rivergreenway was designated as a National Recreation Trail. The trail network also connects to the Wabash & Erie Canal Towpath Trail. In 2011, the Wabash & Erie Canal Towpath Trail was completed, the Greater Fort Wayne has 50 miles of connected trails.The Rivergreenway originates at the confluence of the three rivers meet in downtown Fort Wayne at the water filtration plant. This is considered the zero-mile marker for the St. Joseph, St. Marys and Maumee Pathways. The St. Joseph Pathway (3.4 miles) follows the west side of the St. Joseph River from the confluence to Indiana University – Purdue University Fort Wayne (IPFW). This trail is currently being extended from Johnny Appleseed Park to Shoaff Park. The first phase of construction from Johnny Appleseed to IPFW was complete in the summer of 2010 and includes a new trail across the Coliseum Blvd Bridge and the trail also goes under the bridge to connect with IPFW. The St. Joe Blvd Pathway (1.14 miles) follows the east side of the St. Joseph River from State Blvd to Lafayette Street. This section of trail was built as part of a flood control project. The St. Marys Pathway (8.75 miles) runs south from the confluence to Tillman Park where it connects with the Southtown Centre Trail. Along the way, the St. Marys Pathway connects with multiple city parks including the Historic Old Fort, Lawton, Headwaters, Bloomingdale, Swinney, Foster and Tillman. This pathways is also the main trail connection to downtown Fort Wayne. The Maumee Pathway (8.75 miles) cuts east on the north side of the Maumee River winding its way to the City of New Haven's Moser Park where it terminates. This section of trail is the most remote section because it is located behind the City's treatment ponds. In 2009, the City built a trail spur to Coliseum Blvd in order to provide emergency access and another point of entry for trail users. The Yarnell Trail (1.11 miles) originates in West Swinney Park at the St. Marys Pathway just southeast of the swimming pool and runs west through West Swinney Park, along West Jefferson Boulevard to Rockhill Park. The Southtown Centre Trail (.60 miles) begins at Tillman Park, where the St. Marys Pathway ends, and it runs south along Hanna St. to a mid-block crossing, taking trail users across a field to the back side of Southtown Centre. By 2017, this trail had connected to Anthony Boulevard.

The St. Marys River (Shawnee: Kokothikithiipi, in Miami-Illinois: Nameewa siipiiwi) is a 99-mile-long (159 km) tributary of the Maumee River (Miami-Illinois: Taawaawa siipiiwi) in northwestern Ohio and northeastern Indiana in the United States.

It is formed in southern Auglaize County in western Ohio by the confluence of the short East Branch and Center Branch. It flows briefly west to St. Marys, approaching to within two miles of Grand Lake before turning to the north. In northwestern Auglaize County it turns sharply to the west-northwest, flowing past Rockford and Willshire into Adams County, Indiana. In northeastern Indiana it flows northwest through Decatur, then enters Fort Wayne. It hooks around in its last half mile (0.8 km) to join the St. Joseph River (in Miami-Illinois: Kociihsasiipi) from the west to form the Maumee in downtown Fort Wayne. The World War II-era US Navy vessel St. Mary's River was named after this river.
