History

History information is some background and history about the location. This is meant to be a basic summary. Below the history records you will find sources in which you can click on to find out more information. There may be multiple history records per location.

Fort Laurens was built in 1778 under the orders of Lachlan McIntosh, an American commander sent to the Ohio territory to defeat the British-allied Wyandot people and attack the British in Detroit. With winter quickly approaching, McIntosh decided to delay attacks until spring. His men constructed Fort Laurens along what is now called the Tuscarawas River to wait out the harsh weather. The structure was completed in early December 1778 and was named after Henry Laurens, the president of the Continental Congress.
