Here, at the third crossing of Mill Creek, Jacob
White, in 1790, built a stockaded settlement consisting
of six cabins and a blockhouse. White’s Station
was one of several walled settlements which
guarded the approaches of Cincinnati and Fort
Washington. During the Indian Wars it was a
supply depot and at times, was manned both by
soldiers of the United States and frontier militia.
On October 19, 1793 a party of Indians attacked
the station, killing Andrew Goebel (Gobel) and
two children of Mrs. Moses Pryor, before being
repulsed. It was at this place that Gen. Wayne
camped in 1793 on his march to victory at
Fallen Timbers.Erected 1953 by Nation Distillers Products Corporation Anthony Wayne Parkway.
