During its two centuries as a center of midwestern commerce and settlement, Fort Wayne has owed much of its heritage to the Three Rivers which course through it. From the earliest Indian barks to the continuing industrial and cultural progress, the St. Joseph, St. Marys and the Maumee have played integral roles. We are pleased that it is now possible for anyone with a boat to travel the same streams where so much history was made. The Three Rivers helped determine the citys past, and they play an important role in making Fort Wayne the great and growing city it is today. Harold S. Zeis, Mayor. Scale in miles.
