Wildcat Creek defines the setting of Dayton — its wooded stream corridor breaks up the broad farm country of north-central Indiana and has long shaped this small Tippecanoe County community. Dayton lies near the creek’s meeting with the Wabash River, in a region of fertile fields and river-bottom woodland north of Lafayette. The town belongs to a county named after the 1811 Battle of Tippecanoe, a defining event in early Indiana history. Its quiet streets provide a useful contrast to the university energy of nearby Lafayette and West Lafayette.
