Few cities in Indiana have a history as closely tied to the Wabash and Erie Canal as New Haven. Set beside the Maumee River in Allen County, the city occupies the level agricultural country of northeastern Indiana, immediately east of Fort Wayne. In the 19th century, the canal carried freight, settlers and commerce through the growing community, linking it to a water route between Lake Erie and the Ohio River. Railways and highways later changed local travel, but the canal remains a defining part of New Haven’s story. Today, its residential streets and civic centre sit within the wider Fort Wayne urban area.
