  • Fort Ouiatenon fut un fort français construit au XVIIIe siècle en Nouvelle-France. Fort Ouiatenon fut édifié en 1717 à la confluence de la rivière Wabash et de la rivière Tippecanoe dans le Pays des Illinois. Le fort se trouvait à 5 kilomètres de la ville actuelle de West Lafayette dans l'État de l'Indiana. Le fort fut baptisé du nom amérindien de Ouiatenon, qui désigne en Langues algonquiennes le territoire de la tribu des Wea, peuple amérindien apparenté à la tribu des Miamis qui avait deux de ses principales communautés non loin du fort à Lafayette et Terre Haute.
