1778 - 1788

[Left Side of Text]: First Home of the U.S. Army

After the American Revolution was won, Congress authorized formation of a small regular army for general defense. This unit, formed under Col. Josiah Harmar, was named the first American regiment and was garrisoned at Fort McIntosh in 1784-1785, thus making this the first permanent post of the United States Army. Today's Presidential Honor Guard traces its proud origins to the Fort McIntosh garrison.

[Right Side of Text]: The Treaty of Fort McIntosh

In January 1785, 400 chiefs and warriors of the Delaware, Wyandot, Chippewa and Ottawa Indian tribes met on this site with the American Treaty Commissioners George Rogers Clark, Richard Butler and Arthur Lee, and surrendered all future claims to the lands north of the Ohio, thus making possible orderly settlement of Western Pennsylvania and all of Northwestern Ohio.
