Tippecanoe County, located in the great state of Indiana, was officially established on March 1, 1826. The county was named after the Battle of Tippecanoe, which occurred in 1811 and was a significant confrontation between American forces, led by then-General William Henry Harrison, and Native American tribes led by Tecumseh, a Shawnee warrior chief. This battle was fought near the Tippecanoe River, which also inspired the county's name.
Lafayette, the county's largest city, was founded in 1825 by William Digby, just a year before the formation of the county. It eventually became a hub for various transportation networks, such as the Wabash and Erie Canal, and various railroad systems, which facilitated the growth and development of the city and county as a whole.
The county is home to Purdue University, established in 1869 when John Purdue, a Lafayette businessman, donated land and money for the establishment of a college of science, technology, and agriculture. This world-renowned institution was built in West Lafayette, across the Wabash River from Lafayette, and has played a critical role in the region's progress through education and research.
A fun fact about Tippecanoe County is that it is sometimes referred to as the "home of the Boilermakers," a nickname for students and athletes at Purdue University. Purdue's mascot, the Boilermaker Special, is a locomotive that represents the school's history and connection with the railroad industry.
