Fort Wayne, Indiana, lies on which line of longitude?

Every possible meridian of longitude between 85.05° W and 85.12° W passes through part of Fort Wayne. There are an infinite number of them.
Forget about 'lines' of longitude. There's no such thing as a standard set of lines, with no longitudes between the lines and you have to pick a line that's close to the place you're interested in.
Just like on a ruler . . . there are only some marks on it, at some lengths, but that doesn't mean that no lengths exist between the marks. You would not ask "What mark on the ruler is your height ?". You would ask "How tall are you ?", and I could tell you any number that's correct, even if there's no mark on the ruler right there.

Fort Wayne, Indiana, is approximately on the 85th meridian west of Greenwich, which is not directly stated but deduced from its geographic location.
However, we can deduce that it is located approximately on the 85th meridian west of Greenwich. This is independent of the historical events such as the establishment of Prophetstown, the negotiation of the Treaty of Fort Wayne, or the construction of Fort Wayne as a military post, mentioned in the references.
For specific questions regarding geography like lines of longitude or latitude, it's often helpful to consult an atlas or a contemporary mapping service.
