LAGRANGE COUNTY
Old-fashioned rural character lives in harmony with progress and growth in LaGrange County. Located in northeastern Indiana, LaGrange County is home to the third largest Amish community in the United States. Approximately half of the county’s population is Amish.
Residents and visitors enjoy the idyllic farmland, 67 lakes and tree-shaded neighborhoods scattered throughout the county. The county is made up of 11 small towns and unincorporated villages with populations ranging from 525 to 3,000 citizens.
LaGrange, located in the heart of the county, is the county seat. It is also home to some of the county’s architectural jewels including the county courthouse, completed in 1879, and the city’s Carnegie Library, built in 1919.
Shipshewana, located in the western half of the county, is home to the Shipshewana Flea Market and Auction, which attracts visitors from all over during the summer months as do numerous specialty and craft shops throughout the year.
Topeka, just a few miles south of Shipshewana, is known around the world for its Draft horse auctions. The town also boasts a growing industrial base while being home to many of the Amish traditions.
Wolcottville, along the southern border of the county, is home to many lakes. Several dining establishments can be found on these lakes.

The other unincorporated towns of Ontario, Brighton, Mongo, Stroh, and South Milford, offer peaceful roads, parks and vistas, which are enjoyed by residents and visitors alike.

Once home to the Potawatomi Indians, LaGrange County saw its first white settlers in the early 1830s, as folks came from the east to establish communities in this Midwestern wilderness. It has continued to grow ever since, attracting modern-day pioneers with its beautifully preserved landscape and natural areas.
Shipshewana, named for Potawatomi chief, Shipshewana, is said to have welcomed the first white settler in 1831. The first recorded land certificate was issued in 1835 and by 1844 a group of Amish settlers from Pennsylvania called this area home. By 1854, German Baptist and Mennonite churches were built. Shipshewana was first platted in 1889 and officially incorporated in 1916.
In 1832, two French traders arrived in Wolcottville and soon a log cabin, a dam and sawmill, a general store and gristmill were built, making Wolcottville one of the area’s first settlements. George Wolcott, who arrived in 1837, was responsible for starting a number of the businesses that served settlers’ needs; the town was named after him in 1848.
First settled in 1832, Topeka was officially named in 1893. Previously called Haw Patch and Slabtown, Topeka is said to have been named by Kansas railroad workers who constructed the tracks for the Wabash Railroad in 1891. Sycamore Hall, home to the Sycamore Literary Society, was built in Topeka and dedicated in 1905.
Plans for LaGrange, platted in 1836 by Rueben J. Dawson, William F. Beavers, George F. Whittaker, and James McConnell, included a public square, which is now home to the LaGrange County Seat. Due to LaGrange’s central location, the county seat was moved from Lima (now Howe) to the city of LaGrange in 1843.
Howe, the former county seat, was settled in 1834 and became the first formalized white settlement in the county. First called Mongoquinong, the town later was called Lima and then changed to Howe, after John B. Howe, one of the founders of the community’s first bank. The Howe mansion is located on West Union Street.
Remnants of the area’s old historic past remain. Brighton is home to the 150-year-old English Prairie Church of the Brethren and remains one of the area’s first one-room schoolhouses.
Originally settled as farming villages, Mongo, Stroh and South Milford remain active as residents and visitors take advantage of the lakes and rivers surrounding the communities.

PIGEON RIVER
Pigeon River Fish and Wildlife Area was established in 1956 when three impoundments in the Pigeon River Valley were acquired by the State of Indiana. These included Mongo, Nasby and Ontario reservoirs. Since then, the state has acquired additional land along the river valley. Currently the property covers over 12,600 acres.
Most revenue used in land acquisition, development, operation and maintenance of Pigeon River Fish and Wildlife Area is derived from the sale of hunting, fishing and trapping licenses. Funds are also received from the federal PittmanRobertson and Dingell-Johnson programs to aid fish and wildlife restoration. These funds are derived from taxes levied on sport hunting and fishing equipment. Indiana hunters and fishermen are proud to provide this property for the enjoyment of all people.

ConnectHER Conference:
• Annual local conference that brings women from all areas of life together for a day.
• Designed to provide local, cost-effective personal and professional development for women.
• The Conference challenges attendees to be the best women they can be, to make a greater impact on their community by being centered around empowering, equipping, and challenging them.
• Included in the day were ladies in all sectors of business and life: non-profit work, small business and entrepreneurs, moms and empty-nesters, teams of business professionals, and more.

Field of Dreams Career Expo:
• Designed to be a space for LaGrange County students to dream big about career opportunities available to them within the boundaries of LaGrange County.
• Over 1,400 students, grades 7 through 12, are allowed to visit, talk with, and experience jobs in a variety of different industries and career clusters.
• The expo was an opportunity for employers in all industries to feature the best of their day-to-day work. Companies and organizations were encouraged to provide booths that engage and connect students with the reality of their careers.
• To create organic, but necessary conversations between students and employers, students were given bingo cards with objectives that fit the goals of the event – to provide real-life recognition for students of career opportunities within LaGrange County.
Small Business Workshop:
• Designed to provide local business owners and entrepreneurs with the benefits that are usually found in conferences held within the cities.
• Cultivated connections among small business owners and entrepreneurs from LaGrange County and the greater NE Indiana Region. Cultivated greater partnerships between English and Amish business owners.
• Supports content about marketing, better business organization, succession planning, business startups, accounting and payroll, working in family business, and more!
