Fort Defiance Park
Fort Defiance Park was added to the National Register of Historic Places on Jun 23, 1980. It is significant for its military and exploration/settlement at the state level.
Fort Defiance was an American military fortification built in 1794 during the Northwest Indian War in what was then the Northwest Territory. Following the Treaty of Greenville, the fort was abandoned in 1796. The site of the fort, adjacent to where the Auglaize River flows into the Maumee River, now lies within the city of Defiance, Ohio.
