Indiana’s roots go back thousands of years to migratory tribes who inhabited the region as early as 8,000 B.C. European explorers, particularly from France and Britain, later arrived in the area and vied for control. Conflicts with native tribes, such as the Battle of Tippecanoe in 1811, played a major role in shaping the state’s early history. Indiana, known as “The Crossroads of America,” officially became the 19th state of the Union in 1816.

Indianapolis also holds a notable place in pop culture, including being the birthplace of Wonder Bread and the site of Elvis Presley’s last concert.
