Starke County, Administrative county in Indiana, United States.
Starke County is an administrative county in Indiana that covers rolling hills and farmland across its territory. The Kankakee River marks its northwestern edge and defines a natural boundary for the region.
This county was named in 1835 after General John Stark, who played a role in the American Revolution. The naming reflected recognition of his military contributions to the nation's founding period.
The Potawatomi Native American nation inhabited the region before their forced removal in 1838 through a relocation process that led to many deaths.
The area is well served by major roads including U.S. Routes 30, 35, and 421 that connect communities across the region. These transportation corridors make it straightforward to navigate between different parts of the county.
Residents north of the Kankakee River petitioned to join LaPorte County in 1842 due to geographical isolation from the rest of Starke County.
