Junundat, alternatively known as Junandot, Ayonontout, and Sunyendeand, was a Wyandot Indian village located at the mouth of the Sandusky River, near modern-day Wightmans Grove, Ohio. Junundat was founded in 1739 by a tribe of Wyandots moving south from the vicinity of Detroit under the leadership of Nicholas Orontony, after migrating to escape the aggressive Ottawa tribe. The village was a hub for trade in the region, until it was abandoned in 1747 following French aggression.
