Fort McIntosh was erected here in 1778 in defense of the western frontier. Following the Revolutionary War, a treaty with the Native Americans was drawn at Fort McIntosh in 1785. The occasion was guarded by a new army unit named the First American Regiment. In recognition of its historical origin as America's first and oldest permanent army, the military unit posted here was later designated the President's Guard, known today as the Old Guard Regiment.
