Indiana, known as the “Hoosier State,” and it became the 19th state of the United States on December 11, 1816, following its admission to the Union by an act signed by President James Madison. The state originated from the Indiana Territory, which was established in 1800 and carved out of the larger Northwest Territory. Its path to statehood involved a constitutional convention in 1816, where delegates drafted Indiana’s first constitution in Corydon, its original capital.

Indiana’s government structure includes 92 counties and a mix of cities, towns, and villages. The state has 567 municipal governments, comprising 117 cities and 450 towns. Cities in Indiana are classified into three classes based on population: first-class cities (250,000+ residents), second-class cities (35,000–249,999 residents), and third-class cities (fewer than 35,000 residents). On the other hand, towns are smaller municipalities that do not meet the population threshold for city status.
