    During the 18th and 19th centuries, the French, British and American nations built and occupied a number of forts at Vincennes, Indiana. These outposts commanded a strategic position on the Wabash River. The names of the installations were changed by the various ruling parties, and the forts were considered strategic in the French and Indian War, and the American Revolutionary War. The former site of what is known as Fort Knox II has been marked and preserved as a state historic site. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
