Indiana, U.S. state in Midwestern United States

Indiana spans 36,420 square miles between Lake Michigan and the Ohio River, featuring flat plains, fertile agricultural lands, and urban centers.

The territory transformed from Native American lands to statehood in 1816, with Corydon serving as the first capital until Indianapolis took this role in 1825.

The Indianapolis 500 automobile race draws thousands of visitors annually to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, establishing a significant motorsport tradition in the state.

Indiana maintains an extensive network of interstate highways connecting Chicago, Cincinnati, and Louisville, supporting its position as a transportation center.

The state ranks fifth nationally in corn production, with fields stretching across northern and central regions, contributing substantially to U.S. agriculture.
