Switzerland County, County in southeastern Indiana, United States
Switzerland County stretches across 223 square miles of land and water, bordered by Ohio County to the north and Kentucky's border along the Ohio River.
The Indiana state legislature established Switzerland County in 1814, forming it from sections of Dearborn and Jefferson counties during the early years of Indiana statehood.
The Swiss Wine Festival in Vevay brings together residents each August for grape stomping competitions, river boat rides, and regional wine presentations.
Switzerland County maintains two incorporated municipalities, with Vevay serving as the administrative center and providing governmental services to approximately 10,000 residents.
The absence of railroad construction in Switzerland County during the 1800s led to a focus on river transportation and wine grape production.
