Indianapolis Facts, History and Local Events

Downtown Indianapolis skyline with Conseco Fieldhouse Indianapolis is a city in Marion County, Indiana that is commonly known to the locals and even racing sports fans as Indy. It is the largest city in the state with it being the Marion County seat. It is also such a large city that it is known as the 14th largest city in the United States with a population estimated to be about 807,584. It is known by many names, like the Racing Capital of the World, the Amateur Sports Capital of the World, the Crossroads of America and many others. It has such an impact in the economy of Indiana that it is considered quite the important business and finance hub.

In the 1820's, the inhabitants of this area, the Miami and Lenape tribes, were vacated from the area and Indianapolis was slated to be the capital of Indiana State. A judge of the Supreme Court, Jeremiah Sullivan, christened this city by combining the Greek word for "city" which is "polis" with the name of the state, Indiana, and gave it its new name. Indianapolis is a city that grew in leaps and bounds and was industrialized heavily by the first half of the 20th century. The city was also, unfortunately, the center of racial tensions in the 1970's and suffered in the 1980's and early 1990's. Later in the 1990's, a change for the better was beginning to show through the construction of many new improvements to the Circle City: a major highway, the Indianapolis International Airport, the RCA Dome (then home of the Indianapolis Colts, who now play at Lucas Oil Stadium) and the Indiana Convention Center. This is impressive, considering the city's large size of about 966 square kilometers with about 1.81% percent of it being covered in water.
