Maumee's Beginnings

Anthony Wayne at Fallen Timbers

1794 was a critical year for what would become Maumee Ohio.

Before 1792, under the leadership of Arthur St. Clair, the USA suffered several humiliating and debilitating defeats at the hands of Indian and British troops in the Northwest Territory. As a result, President George Washington appointed "Mad" Anthony Wayne as Commander of the Western Army. Wayne raised and trained a reorganized army known as the Legion of the United States.

Wayne moved fast! By July of 1794, the Legion of the United States and units of the Kentucky militia began a march to the Miamis (Maumee) Valley, the refuge of the Indian Confederacy. Among the officers of the Legion were Capt. William Clark (later joined by Meriweather Lewis), and William Wells, Chief of Scouts. The Native confederacy was lead by Little Turtle (Miami), Blue Jacket (Shawnee), Little Otter (Ottawa), Crane (Wyandot) and Buckongehelas (Delaware). Also present was Tecumseh. By mid-August, the warriors and their families had retreated to the lower rapids of the Maumee and were preparing to make a stand near the newly built British military post, Fort Miamis

Indians Repulsed by British Allies at Ft. Miami

On Aug. 20, 1794, Wayne's army attacked the Indians at Fallen Timbers. The battle lasted less than an hour. Fleeing Indians raced toward Fort Miami, where the British had promised protection. They were turned away because the British did not want to risk war with the United States.

Wayne's victory at Fallen Timbers ended for all time the power of the British on American soil. In 1795 The Treaty of Greenville was signed making the territory safe for the gradual development of the Village of Maumee.

Ft. Miami Today Is a Quiet Park

Bounded on one side by the Ft. Miamis National Memorial, an 1794 English fort on the River Road between Michigan and Corey Streets, and bounded on the other side by the Anthony Wayne Trail, a major thoroughfare that was first an ancient Indian trail, then the old Wabash and Erie canal, and finally a modern highway, this neighborhood has plenty of history for those willing to look below the surface of modern streets and houses.

The Cottage at 819 Corey Street was built during the canal era in the late 1800s or early 1900s.
