The first settlements in Wabash County soon followed the Treaty of 1826. The treaty grounds became known as the headquarters for new comers.



The Samueal McClure, Sr. family moved to the treaty grounds in January, 1827. They later built a log cabin on the north bank of the Wabash River, three miles below the treaty grounds. They are regarded as the first settlers in Wabash County.



Samuel McClure, Jr. soon located an Indian trading business adjacent to the family cabin. He, along with his brother Robert McClure, constructed the first state highway through Wabash County in 1833. They were compensated $7.58 per mile.
