A LITTLE HISTORY

Prehistoric Indian Mound Builders of 1,000 years ago were the earliest known inhabitants. A French trading post was built (1731-1732) at Vincennes. La Salle visited the present South Bend area in 1679 and 1681. France ceded the area to Britain in 1763. During the American Revolution, American General George Rogers Clark captured Vincennes in 1778 and defeated British forces in 1779. At war's end Britain ceded the area to the U.S. Miami Indians defeated U.S. troops twice in 1790, but were beaten in 1794 at Fallen Timbers by General Anthony Wayne. At Tippecanoe, in 1811, General William H. Harrison defeated Tecumseh's Indian confederation.
