The British Army, supported by Tecumseh's Confederacy, failed to capture the fort during the siege of Fort Meigs. It is named in honor of Ohio governor Return J. Meigs Jr. for his support in providing General William Henry Harrison with militia and supplies for the line of forts along the Old Northwest frontier. ()
