Indianapolis: A City Circle History

With its selection as Indiana's capital in 1821,
Indianapolis was destined to become a major
Midwestern hub. Through the decades that
followed, the Circle City led Indiana into its golden
age, when the state was one of the largest
industrial and agricultural producers in the nation.
Forced to reinvent itself after the decline of heavy
industry, Indianapolis now supports a diverse
technology- and service-based economy and
proudly proclaims itself the amateur sports capital
of the world.

About the author

Author Jeffrey Tenuth, historian and chief
cataloger at the Indiana State Museum, presents
here a fresh perspective on Indianapolis history,
citing little-used sources that focus on the Circle
City's leading role in transportation and
manufacturing. Illustrated with graceful historic
photographs, this new history examines the
decisive moments on the Hoosier capital's path
to success.
