Allen County, Indiana
Allen County is the largest county in northeastern Indiana. Fort Wayne is the state’s second-biggest city and is the heart of this county. Three rivers (the St. Marys, St. Joseph, and Maumee) shape the landscape and local culture.
Fort Wayne’s Children’s Zoo is a major attraction, drawing families from across the region. If you’re into history, there’s Old Fort, a reconstruction of the original 1815 fort.
The county’s economy has evolved from its manufacturing roots to include healthcare, education, and tech sectors. Allen County’s parks system is extensive with nearly 660 square miles.
