Howard County, County in north central Indiana, United States
Howard County is an administrative division in north central Indiana that includes both urban and rural communities. Kokomo serves as the county seat, where most government services and regional businesses are based.
The region was originally established in 1844 under a different name, then renamed in 1846 to honor a notable statesman. This change reflected evolving local governance and regional identity during Indiana's early development.
Multiple educational institutions operate within the county borders, including Indiana University Kokomo, Indiana Wesleyan University, and Ivy Tech Community College.
The area is well connected to neighboring regions through major highways that make travel between communities straightforward. Air travel is available through the local airport for visitors arriving from farther away.
The county is divided into eleven separate township districts, each with its own local character and community centers. This structure allows for localized services and governance spread across different areas of the region.
