Terre Haute, Indiana

The seat of Vigo County, Indiana, is known as Terre Haute.  The city boasts a population of over 60,000 residents within a metropolitan area that is over 170,000 people.

The city lies along the Wabash River and lays claim to being the capital of Wabash Valley. A number of higher learning institutions are located in Terre Haute. These institutions include:

• Indiana State University
• Rose-Hulman Insitute of Technology
• Saint Mary-of-the-Woods-College
• Ivy Tech Community College of Indiana

The Wabash River takes up most of the city’s physical geography and forms its western border. The climate is mostly on the extremes of both the heat and the cold spectrums. The summer temperatures often hit the roof while the winters are often near freezing.

History

Terre Haute is believed to have been named by French explorers who arrived in the area in the early 18th century. They most likely named it this to describe its unique perch above the Wabash River. The name is a French phrase terre haute, whose English translation is highland. In this period, the region was under the British, and the French and the highlands were believed to be the border separating Canada and Louisiana.

When Fort Harrison was established in 1811, a permanent population of European-Americans was established in the area too. There was Wea Indian village close to the fort, and the Indians had orchards and meadows a few miles to the north of the fort. The site where those meadows and orchards were is where Terre Haute stands today.

In 1818, the city was named the county seat of the newly formed Vigo County. This led to a population growth spurt. Terre Haute was incorporated in 1832 and formally became a city in 1853.

The first businesses in Terre Haute included:

• Pork Processing
• Milling
• Farming

With the excellent transportation, business and industries expanded. In the early days, Terre Haute was a center of farming, milling, and pork processing. However, the business and industrial expansion of the Wabash River, the Wabash and Erie Canal, and the National Road, which is known today as the US 40, connected the city to the world which expanded its influence.

More industries came up in the city, for instance:

• Iron
• Hominy plants
• Distilleries
• Breweries
• Bottle makers

With the coming of the railroads, coal and coal mines were needed. In spite of all these developments though, agriculture reigned supreme. This was mainly due to the use of corn in the production of food items and alcohol.

Two hospitals were built as well as a number of churches and some outlets for recreation purposes.

On March 23, 1913, a devastating tornado hit the city of Terre Haute and destroyed over 300 homes. It’s reported that 21 people lost their lives and 250 suffered injuries of varying degrees. The local businesses and industries were not spared either. The devastation was followed by heavy rains which caused the river to burst its banks. By noon on March 25th, Taylorville in West Terre Haute was three-quarters in flood waters.
