About Indiana
Indiana is a Midwestern US state located at the ‘Crossroads of America’ (Seventh Street and Wabash Avenue intersection at Terre Haute).
Indiana borders Ohio in the east; in the west, the Wabash River forms the southern section of its border with Illinois, in the south the Ohio River creates the natural border with Kentucky, and in north it shares a state line with Michigan. Indiana also has a short coastline at Lake Michigan in the northwest.
Some History
Native American tribes lived along the waterways of the area for thousands of years before the arrival of Europeans.
In the 18th century, the territory of present-day Indiana was colonized by the French, who ceded it to Britain in 1763. It was passed to the US twenty years later in 1783.
Indiana was then part of the Northwest Territory, which later became the state of Ohio and the Territory of Indiana. The first Constitution of the State of Indiana was completed and adopted on 29th June 1816. Indiana joined the Union on 11th December 1816 as the 19th state.
