With high-quality attractions, affordable admissions, cool new neighborhoods, and that big city, small-town feel. Fort Wayne is the second-largest city in the state of Indiana, and the hub of Northeast Indiana. Located in Allen County, the largest county in Indiana. Big City. Bigger Heart. Lots to see and do!!
