Resentment by the Indians against white encroachment reached a peck in the 1790's. Encouraged by the British, they began to raid settlements. Two poorly organized American military campaigns, led by General Josiah Harmar in 1790 and Governor Arthur St. Clair in 1791, were soundly defeated by the Indians. President Washington turned to Anthony Wayne to crush Indian resistance.

Wayne assembled troops at Cincinnati, then moved to Fort Greene Ville where he spent many months creating a disciplined, well-trained army. By summer 1794, he was ready to move.

On the march to the Maumee Valley, Wayne met nearly 2,000 Indians here at a grove of trees felled by a tornado. After hard fighting, Wayne drove the Indians to the gates of nearby Fort Miamis, where he defeated them.

In the Treaty of Greene Ville, signed in 1795, the Indians surrendered their claims to most of Ohio. The treaty pacified the frontier for fifteen years and opened Ohio to peaceful settlement.
