In 1895; Fort Wayne officially celebrated the centennial of the construction of a Fort at the Three Rivers by General Anthony Wayne in 1794. For the belated birthday; Fort Waynersquo;s streets were festooned with flags and bunting. Centennial archeswere erected throughout the city; and many events filled the week-long celebration. This photographic essay examines the century since the centennial. It outlines Fort Waynersquo;s development in the twentieth century and conveys a picture of the city at the end of the century. The significance of the rivers in Fort Waynersquo;s development is explored. A chapter on Calhoun Street focuses on the changes the twentieth century has produced in the downtown area. Changes in residential patterns; transportation; and leisure-time activities are emphasized.
