The territory was established as an administrative division in 1832 and took its name from the Miami tribe who inhabited the region for generations. Settlement followed the displacement of this original population.
Residents maintain strong ties to farming traditions and gather for local celebrations that structure the year. These gatherings reflect life shaped by agriculture and small-town community bonds.
Peru in the center serves as the hub for administrative matters and transportation. The rural nature of the area means visitors need a car to move between scattered locations.
The territory contains several small lakes and waterways known to local anglers and nature watchers. These water features shape the local landscape and support the region's wildlife.
