Buffalo were recorded here in 1718 to the east across the river.
This entire area was an important Indian trade center from early times to c. 1830.
Trading posts were established here in the middle 1700's including George Ironside's and Peter Lumbar's here at the fort site.
The British maintained practical control over this trade center until following the War of 1812.
Ohio became a state in 1803.
The first permanent settlers arrive during 1817.
The last of the local Indians were removed during the 1830's.
