Talk:Treaty of Fort Industry

The $1,000,000 question
Where was it signed? I.e., where was Fort Industry?? Sbalfour (talk) 20:51, 10 January 2019 (UTC)


 * Well, the city of Toledo has a number of place names containing "Fort Industry" and the article claims it was a temporary stockade at the mouth of Swan Creek on the Maumee River, citing this source. However, the source does more to establish the lack of any authoritative knowledge of the actual location than to definitively locate it. Miami of the lake as mentioned in the treaty was an earlier name for the Maumee River, but says nothing about where on the river. older ≠ wiser 21:43, 10 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Can't we say we don't know where on the river, but we're pretty sure is was on that river? Most of the sources say it was.  The innuendo is bigger than the fact.  Isn't that a legend?  I've searched thru the War Department documents of that era, and sure enough, I can't find such a fort, though there is an intriguing reference to a fort at "head of the Maumee" (not named).
