Terre Haute

Terre Haute has served as the seat of Vigo County in western Indiana since the early 19th century. Set on the east bank of the Wabash River, the city developed along an important transport corridor connecting Indiana and Illinois. U.S. Route 40 follows the historic National Road through town, recalling the route’s role in nineteenth-century settlement and commerce. Indiana State University, founded in 1865 as a teachers’ school, remains a major local institution, while Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology stands on the city’s eastern side. Downtown brings together civic buildings, theatres and university life. Discover how Terre Haute connects with the Wabash Valley by browsing nearby webcams.
