City of Fort Wayne

Where the Mastodons call home.

Founded over 220 years ago at the spot where three rivers join, Fort Wayne grew from a frontier trading fort into the second-largest city in Indiana. On any given day, you can find sporting events, art shows, theatrical productions, and tons of festivals taking place all over town.

Enjoy baseball with the TinCaps. Walk the phenomenal trail network that connects our 86 local parks. Wherever you go, you’ll discover the reason Fort Wayne won the
All-America City award—three times. Welcome home.
