Peru, County seat in Miami County, Indiana
The Wabash River flows through Peru, dividing the municipality into northern and southern sections across its 5.14 square miles of territory.
The city experienced substantial changes after a devastating flood in 1913 that destroyed numerous factories and altered the industrial landscape permanently.
The International Circus Hall of Fame maintains exhibits and collections that document the regional influence of multiple circus companies through artifacts and photographs.
Residents access municipal services through the city departments, including public safety, planning, and recreation, with online payment options for local fees.
The Peru Amateur Circus trains performers between ages 7 and 21, continuing the traditions that earned the city its designation as Circus Capital of the World.
