On 25 February 1779 Col. George Rogers Clark captured Fort Sackville at Vincennes from the British. About six miles west at Pointe Coupee on the Wabash River on 2 March 1779, Capt. Leonard Helm commanding three boats and 50 volunteers from Vincennes captured a reinforcement fleet of seven boats carrying 40 soldiers and valuable supplies and Indian trade goods. This small naval battle completed the destruction of British military strength in the Wabash Valley . The county's first settlement occurred between 1808 and 1812, by a religious society of celibates known as Shakers . The 400 members of this communal group occupied 1,300 acres , seven miles west of Carlisle .
