Erie, Pennsylvania, has had a long history as a major city in the Great Lakes region of the United States. Iroquois and Seneca Nations The Six Nations of the Iroquois Confederacy and the Seneca Nation occupied the lands now known as Erie. For a history of the Native Americans who occupied this land before Europeans, see Erie Indians. Early French settlement The French built Fort Presque Isle near present-day Erie in 1753, as part of their effort to garrison New France against the encroaching English. The French word "Presque-isle" means peninsula (literally "almost an island") and refers to that piece of land that juts into Lake Erie that is now called Presque Isle State Park.

Tinker V
Tinker or tinkerer is an archaic term for an itinerant tinsmith who mends household utensils.

''Travellers and their Language'' (2002) Queen's University Belfast However, this use is considered offensive. The term "tinker", in British English, may refer to a mischievous child.
