Wabash County, Indiana

Wabash County is located in central Indiana. It was previously part of what is now Huntington County and was organized March 1, 1835. It's county seat is Wabash, the first electrified city in the United States. It is crossed by four rivers, the best known of which is probably the Wabash River. Wabash County was the hunting grounds for the Potowatomi and Miami Indian tribes prior to 1826. On February 8, 1827 the first land was purchased by Jeremiah Cox and other white settlers began moving into the area. Several Indian tribes were still living along the upper Wabash River Valley in 1850. Many descendants of these Indians still live in Wabash County.
