Did Your Family MOve to Indiana in the 1800s?

The official symbol of Indiana, which shows a pioneer woodsman with an ax and a buffalo, symbolizes how your ancestors overcame the wilderness.   

  • Your early 1800s family likely used the Ohio and Wabash rivers as their routes to reach Indiana. By 1840, railroads were built in Indiana, making it easier to navigate the Midwest.  

  • Indiana is home to a large Amish community. In fact, Lagrange-Elkhart County has the largest community in Indiana and the third-largest in the nation.  

  • In 1880, only 7% of Indiana's population was from a foreign country and 44% of Indiana's population was from southern states.
