Here is a brief introduction to the state of Indiana.
Capital City: Indianapolis
State’s Flag: Indiana’s state flag was adopted in 1917. The flag’s torch represents liberty and enlightenment. The circle of 19 stars stands for Indiana, the 19th state to be admitted to the Union.
French establish Vincennes in 1732, the first permanent European settlement. The building of industrial plants in northwestern Indiana brought about the latest in a series of population shifts that started in prehistoric times. Anthropologists are just now learning about the civilization of the Mound Builders-Native Americans who constructed forts, villages, and huge earthen ceremonial mounds. The Mound Builders disappeared hundreds of years ago. Successor tribes in what is now Indiana began fighting for their land against French trappers and fur traders in the 17th century. The British arrived and drove out the French in 1763, and the Americans forced out the British a few years later, during the Revolutionary War. In 1816 Indiana joins the Union as 19th state. By 1838 white American settlers had killed or expelled almost all the Indian peoples in Indiana-the Miami, Potawatomi, Piankashaw, Kickapoo, Wea, Delaware, Shawnee, Mohican, and Munsee. The typical 19th-century Hoosier was a farmer of English, Scottish, Irish, or German ancestry. At the end of the century, however, the massive new mills and refineries recruited workers from other ethnic groups: Poles, Hungarians, Czechs, and Italians. Promise of work also attracted African-Americans from the South, who settled in the northwestern comer of the state after World War II. In 1911 the first Indianapolis 500 auto race is held on Memorial Day. In 1988 Indiana’s junior senator, J. Danforth Quayle, is elected vice president of the U.S. In 1998 Indiana’s recovering economy generates record low unemployment and a large state surplus in excess of $1 billion. Augmenting the state’s income are a state lottery and new venues for gambling at racetracks and riverboat casinos.
