South Bend’s
rich and colorful history
began in December 1679
when French explorer
Robert Rene Cavalier
Sieur de La Salle landed
on the banks of the
St. Joseph River, at
what is now Riverview
Cemetery. Two years
later, on that same
site, under the shade
of a great oak tree,
La Salle held a council
with Indian leaders,
which led to the Miami
Treaties.
