Why did Indiana develop here?
Interesting. Was Indiana always a part of the United States? Or did it go through any changes in ownership?
Indiana was originally a part of the Indiana Territory, which was governed by the United States. Prior to that, it was inhabited by Native American tribes. The United States gained control of the territory through treaties and military conquest. Indiana eventually became a state in 1816, after the creation of the Northwest Territory and several subsequent reorganizations.
