Kosciusko County

Kosciusko County is an administrative division in northern Indiana featuring multiple lakes, rolling terrain, and farmland throughout the region. The Tippecanoe River runs through the central area and connects various water bodies, while major highways like U.S. Route 30 serve as primary transportation corridors.

The county was established in 1836 and named after a Polish general who supported the United States during the Revolutionary War. This naming choice reflected early connections between the region and international history.

The county takes its name from an 18th-century Polish general, reflecting a connection to Polish-American history that shapes the community's identity today. This heritage influences local celebrations, institutions, and the values residents share across generations.

The county is easily navigable by car, as several state roads and U.S. Route 30 connect different parts of the region. The area offers plenty of space to explore and different types of landscapes depending on where you travel.

The area is home to several connected lakes and waterways, including Lake Wawasee and Winona Lake, which cover more than one-fifth of the county's surface. These water systems define the region's character and influence both its natural and economic makeup.
