On or near the site of Piqua was one of the principal villages of the Chillicothe division of the Shawnee tribe; the

  also was called Chillicothe. It was destroyed by George Rogers

  in 1782. A town was laid out here in 1809 under the name of Washington, and the present name, that of another division of the Shawnee tribe, was substituted in 1823. Piqua was chartered as a city in 1846. During the French and Indian War, in 1763, a battle was fought in this vicinity chiefly between the Miamis, Wyandots, Ottawas and other Indian allies of the French, and the Delawares, Shawnees, Cherokees, Catawbas and other Indian allies of the English, the English allies making an unsuccessful attempt to drive the French allies from their fortified position, Fort Piqua.
