For the fourth time, Fort Wayne has been awarded the title of All-America City by the National Civic League, making it one of the best places to retire in Indiana. This distinguished honor is only given to 10 cities per year, and every city must first prove to be actively engaging residents to tackle critical challenges in innovative, inclusive and effective ways.
Here’s everything you need to know about the All-America City, Fort Wayne, and how residents at StoryPoint Fort Wayne West can be part of the city’s success.
Fort Wayne, Indiana
The city of Fort Wayne is located in northeast Indiana, 18 miles from the Ohio border and 50 miles from the Michigan border. Because of its proximity to both, residents in Fort Wayne can easily travel throughout the Midwest and enjoy all the region has to offer.
Fort Wayne is a larger city, and it has the second-highest population in Indiana, behind Indianapolis. For a quiet retreat amidst the city activity, residents can visit the Lakeside Park and Rose Garden and surround themselves with 2,000 roses. Fort Wayne also has a variety of museums, including the Fort Wayne Firefighters Museum, the Greater Fort Wayne Aviation Museum and Science Central.
Fort Wayne was awarded the title of All-America City in 1983, 1998, 2009 and 2021. Most recently, the 2021 award challenged cities to share ways they build equity and resilience. The Fort Wayne application highlighted three community building projects as examples of its efforts, including Riverfront Fort Wayne, Fort Wayne UNITED and Fort Wayne Community Schools’ Family and Community Engagement Center. These organizations are just some of the community programs that make Fort Wayne a desirable place to live.
