History
2
By the Treaties at the Maumee Rapids in 1817, and 1818 at St. Mary’s, the Shawnee Indians were given a reservation of ten miles by twelve miles, with this as the eastern boundary line. Indian towns within this area were Blackhoof’s, now St. Johns; Wapaghonetta, now Wapakoneta, where the Council House once stood; and White Feather’s Town, now Buckland. In 1832 the Shawnee were removed to the Indian Territory in Kansas.
