elcom e W– ... to the City of
Berne, Indiana
–a charming Swiss Community!
The heart of Berne, Indiana, lies at the crossroads of two busy highways: U.S. 27, which spans the nation from northern Michigan to southern Florida, and State Road 218. The city is conveniently located just 35 miles south of Fort Wayne, Indiana, and the drive to Indianapolis is under two hours. A close-knit community with strong ties to its heritage, Berne was settled in the mid1850s by a group of Mennonite families from Switzerland, along with a few pioneers who had migrated from eastern states. The city was officially established in 1872. Berne remains a deeply religious community. The city is home to no fewer than 17 churches and features the largest Mennonite sanctuary in North America. Rural areas immediately surrounding the city are home to a large percentage of the county’s Old Order Amish population. Come see why Bloomberg Businessweek.com named Berne Indiana’s 2011 runner-up in its Best Places to Raise Children study!

Decatur, Indiana
–a Stellar Communities Finalist!
Named for the U.S. naval hero, Stephen Decatur, the City of Decatur, Indiana, was founded in 1836 by Samuel L. Rugg. A marble monument sits on the Chamber of Commerce lawn to commemorate Rugg, the man who “spent hundreds of dollars of his money, causing great personal financial difficulty” to bring a road through the city to connect St. Marys, Ohio, to Fort Wayne, Indiana.
ManyThanks
to this Corporate Sponsor:
With an area of nearly five square miles, Decatur’s population is just over 9,400. The city is home to the county’s only hospital, established more than 90 years ago. The Kekionga Festival, held in August, takes place on the banks of the St. Marys River in Decatur. The annual event features a pioneer encampment and living history village, along with an old-fashioned praise and worship church service, the popular Taste of Decatur restaurant sampler, and downtown sidewalk sales. The City of Decatur was one of five Indiana communities selected as finalists for the 2015 Stellar Communities Program grants. It’s a great place to live, work and raise a family!

Geneva, Indiana
–the first Bird Town in Indiana!
ManyThanks
to this Corporate Sponsor:
Geneva proudly became the first town in the state to be designated a “Bird Town” by the Indiana Audobon Society in 2013. This honor recognizes the town’s commitment to the protection and conservation of bird populations and their habitats. The Town of Geneva was established in 1874. When a fire destroyed much of the town in 1895, wooden buildings were banned, and local authorities mandated the construction of stone, iron or brick buildings along downtown Line Street. Once home to author, naturalist, and wildlife photographer Gene Stratton-Porter, Geneva attractions include her former log cabin home, a classroom, and exhibits devoted to nature education. Surrounding wetlands have been restored in recent years, including a 106-acre bird sanctuary and the 112-acre Wabash River Rainbow Bend Park.

elcom e W– ... to the Town of
Monroe, Indiana
–Original Seat of Adams County!
Nestled in the center of Adams County lies the town of Monroe, home to nearly 850 residents. Monroe was platted in 1849 and served as the county seat until widespread flooding necessitated a change.
ManyThanks
to this Corporate Sponsor:
Although it became a stop on the railroad that connected Fort Wayne to Richmond, the town was not incorporated until 1906. By that time, what is now “downtown” was in place, as were many homes – several constructed from the tile block that was being manufactured in the southwest portion of the town. Monroe has more than doubled in size since its selection in 1949 for the location of Adams Central School, one of the first school consolidations in the State of Indiana. Today, Adams Central is annually ranked as one of the top ten academic schools in Indiana. Monroe is home to the largest independent tire dealer in the U.S., as well as an auction house that creates a wholesale marketplace for area produce and flower growers, most of whom are Old Order Amish.

elcom e W– ... to the City of
Portland, Indiana –the Only Jay in the USA!
County seat of “the only Jay in the USA,” Portland might be a small, rural community in Northeast Indiana, but the city of 6,800 has a lot to offer! Portland serves as the county seat, and the magnificent county courthouse was completed in 1919. The local economy relies on both agriculture and industry. Portland’s workforce benefits from local educational programs, and the city’s businesses often attract employees from nearby counties. The Jay County Fairgrounds, located on the east side of the city, hosts a variety of annual events, including the world’s largest antique gas engine & tractor show and the nation’s largest vintage motor bike show, that attract visitors from around the globe. Other Portland attractions include art and history museums, city parks, and the Arch Bridge – the only concrete bowstring-truss bridge in Indiana. Two nature preserves have been established in rural Portland, with nearly three miles of walking trails between them. Portland’s 33-acre Hudson Family Park features an amphitheater, pond, walking/biking trails, nature trails, and playground.

elcom e W– ... to the City of
Bluffton, Indiana
–the Parlor City...Our Door is Always Open!
Bluffton is known as “The Parlor City,” a nickname earned when this city became one of the first in the state to pave its streets. Older residents still recall sitting on their front porches, or “parlors,” on warm summer evenings to visit with neighbors. Throughout Bluffton, small businesses are growing at an unprecedented rate, playing a crucial role in community’s growth. Yet, it’s an entrepreneurial spirit, a solid work ethic and the willingness to roll up sleeves and embrace the future that provides local stability and continued growth for employers, as well as employees. Ouabache State Park, linked to Bluffton by a scenic, paved Rivergreenway, offers a breathtaking observation from one of the few fire towers remaining in the state. On any warm summer weekend, hundreds of visitors line the Wabash River banks at Kehoe Park to enjoy artists filling the Bluffton skies with music during the Summer Concert Series. Bluffton is a great place to visit. Better yet, it’s a great place to call “home!”

ManyThanks
to this Corporate Sponsor:
The Town of Ossian, established in 1850, was named after the legendary Scottish poet of the third century. State Highway 1 was made serviceable form Fort Wayne to Bluffton in 1843 and remains the busiest thoroughfare in Ossian today. A railroad line through Ossian was completed in 1869, and today, it is a main northsouth route for the Norfolk-Southern Corporation. Ossian has spur access for shipment of rail freight. Ossian is located four miles south of Fort Wayne bypass Interstate 469. And, Fort Wayne International Airport is just seven miles north of Ossian. With such a prime location, it’s easy to see why Ossian has always been an industrial town. The shovel-ready industrial park is home to a variety of companies.

Ossian’s population is just nearing 3,300. Residents still enjoy many bigger city conveniences, such as modern housing subdivisions, public parks and recreation, a library, local banks, groceries, restaurants, and more.
