LaGrange County, Administrative county in northern Indiana, United States.
LaGrange County is an administrative county in northern Indiana covering approximately 386 square miles of predominantly agricultural land with rolling topography and numerous lakes. The area is made up of scattered rural communities and small towns nestled within this quiet landscape.
The county was established in 1832 and originally separated from the neighboring Elkhart County, with Lima serving as the first seat of government. This early administrative framework shaped how the region and its communities developed over subsequent generations.
The region is home to the third largest Amish community in the United States, where traditional craftsmanship and lifestyle choices shape daily life. These communities influence local commerce, architecture, and the rhythm of activity in many small towns.
The county seat is located in the town of LaGrange and manages governmental services for approximately 40,000 residents. Most communities are relatively close together, making it easy to explore different areas and discover what each town has to offer.
Horse-drawn buggies and modern vehicles share the same roads, creating an unusual sight that reveals how two different worlds coexist in this region. This everyday scene is one of the most distinctive features visitors notice when traveling through the area.
