Excerpt from Williams' Fort Wayne Directory for 1870-71: To Which Is Appended an United States Post Office Directory Our new Directory, for 1870-71, contains over Seven Thousand Names, which is a much larger number than is contained in any Directory previously published for the City. Within the last seven years the City has not only greatly increased in population, but many splendid business blocks have_been built, and a large number of residences erected - some of which for architectural beauty and mechanical finish are unsurpassed in the country. The increase in population and wealth of the City of Fort Wayne has been, in the last few years, greater than any city in the State; and with her present and projected Railroads, and her wast and unexcelled Water Power, we feel assured that she Will soon become one of the largest and'wealthiest cities of the State of Indiana.
