International Park was once the manufacturing hub for the Fort Wayne region by the mid-20th century. The park is the former home to what was once the area's largest employer, International Harvester, which peaked at 10,600 workers in 1979. The plant, which closed July 15, 1983, is still mostly intact and used as an incubator for smaller industrial firms and businesses, now known as International Park Business Center.-
