history
The French explorer Robert Cavelier de La Salle built a small fort about one kilometer north of today's city center in 1670. Settlers began to settle around this fort, which is the origins of Youngstown. The fortification was continuously expanded and became the heart of what would later become Fort Niagara . During the British-American War in 1812 the settlement was completely destroyed.
