Welcome to the Newto News for March of 2024. My name is Zack Cockfield, and my team and I created Newtomedia as a way for visitors or new residents to get information about a city. Each month we bring together resources that will update you on the history, amenities, culture, future opportunities and all other things inside a city that make it unique. We also hope to be a resource for connecting you with people and businesses that can help you live a better life. If you find our efforts useful, please click on the links to get more information!

Fort Wayne, Indiana was founded in 1794 by a small group of American settlers led by General Anthony Wayne, after whom the city is named. The area had been previously inhabited by various Native American tribes, including the Miami, Potawatomi, and Delaware peoples. The city quickly grew in importance as a trading post and hub for settlers moving westward. In the early 19th century, Fort Wayne became a major transportation center, with the completion of the Wabash and Erie Canal and later the arrival of railroads. During the Civil War, Fort Wayne played a significant role in supplying troops and materials to the Union effort. After the war, it continued to thrive as a center for manufacturing and industry. Today, Fort Wayne is known for its vibrant arts and cultural scene, as well as its historic architecture and natural beauty. It remains a vital economic and cultural hub in the state of Indiana.
