Vermillion County, Administrative county in western Indiana, US.
Vermillion County is an administrative division in western Indiana that stretches along the Wabash River. The area encompasses several towns and communities within its boundaries.
The county was created in 1824 by the Indiana General Assembly as one of the state's early administrative divisions. Its location along a major river shaped early settlement patterns in the region.
Two school corporations, North Vermillion and South Vermillion, manage education across multiple communities, fostering local student development through specialized programs.
The area is best explored by car since communities are spread throughout the region. Main towns offer basic services and facilities for visitors.
Every year the Newport Hill Climb takes place, a competition where classic car enthusiasts drive their vehicles up a steep local slope. This event blends motoring history with local tradition.
