Mishawaka, River city in St. Joseph County, Indiana, United States
Mishawaka stands along the St. Joseph River with 29 parks, residential neighborhoods, shopping centers, and multiple recreational facilities across 17 square miles of land.
The discovery of bog iron deposits in 1832 led to the establishment of St. Joseph Iron Works, which formed the foundation for Mishawaka's incorporation in 1833.
The city maintains strong industrial roots while offering numerous recreational spaces, including Beutter Park, Battell Park Historic District, and the Japanese-inspired Shiojiri Garden.
The municipal bus system connects residents throughout the area, while major highways like the Indiana Toll Road and U.S. Route 20 provide regional access.
Mishawaka earned recognition as the Peppermint Capital of the World in the late 19th century due to its soil conditions that produced high yields of mint.
