Why this spot
1790s federal trading post, declined after the 1820s
A trading post on the north bank of the St. Marys River that became a US government trading factory for the Creek Nation, with a garrison, and the place where the 1796 Treaty of Colerain was signed. The factory moved inland in 1797, and the settlement faded as trade shifted upriver to places like Trader's Hill.View source →
