I've begun my exploration of Ft. Wayne history with the Internet. I know that for many people, including myself a good deal of the time, this is the first place they turn to when in need of information. I began with a simple Google search for "Fort Wayne history." Then, I used my existing knowledge about Ft. Wayne (that it is name after General "Mad" Anthony Wayne) and did a Google search for General "Mad" Anthony Wayne. Between these two searches I came up with nine websites that contained helpful information, including both facts and pictures. One of my challenges with this search was determining which websites could be trusted to have accurate information. I came across several sites that looked promising, but I was unable to determine where their information came from and whether the site was reliable, so I chose to pass over those sites.
My plan is to next visit my local public library in search of books on the history of Fort Wayne!

You should check the official Indiana website at www.state.in.us
There you can find info both under "History" and "Historical Sites", you can also link to the Indiana Historical Society which provided my library with a load of info on the history of South Bend.
