At least 10,000 years ago, people lived in the area now called Indiana. About 2,000 years ago a mysterious culture called Hopewell Tradition filled earthen mounds with tens of thousands of artifacts, giving Indiana one of the most important archaeological sites in the United States. Native American tribes, including the Illini, Miami, and Shawnee, lived on the land thousands of years later. (And the Miami, Shawnee, and Potawatomi tribes still live here today.)

Around 1614 French explorer Samuel de Chaplain visited the area, one of the first Europeans to see the land. By the late 1600s the land was controlled by the French. Between 1754 and 1763, the French and English fought for control of the region in the French and Indian War. The English were victorious and won the land. Later these lands would become known as the Indiana Territory.

At the end of the American Revolution, in 1783, Britain ceded Indiana to the United States, and in 1816 Indiana became the 19th state. During the Civil War (1861-1865) the state fought in favor of the Union.
WHY'S IT CALLED THAT?
Indiana was named after the American Indian tribes who lived there when Europeans arrived.

The nickname Hoosier was first used to describe a person during the 1820s, but experts don't agree on its meaning. The word might come from an old English term for "hill" that was used as slang for people who lived in Indiana's hill territory.
