Fort Seneca : Marker #2-74 - Ohio Historical Markers on Waymarking.com

In the 1820s a general store and grist mill were established on this site, where the famous Scioto-Sandusky Indian trail neared the Sandusky River. The settlement was first known as McNutt's, later as Swope's Corners. The village of Fort Seneca was surveyed January 14, 1836. Its name was derived from Gen. Harrison's War of 1812 fort, which was located a few miles downstream.

Several local cities and towns that played an important part in the War of 1812 include Fort Ferree (Upper Sandusky), Fort Ball (Tiffin), Fort Seneca (kept the same name) and Fort Stephenson (Lower Sandusky, then changed to Fremont)
