The Delaware, Potawatomi, Miami and Eel River Miami peoples lived in the area before white settlement. Bloomington was platted in 1818 by settlers from Kentucky, Tennessee, the Carolinas and Virginia, who were said to be so taken with "a haven of blooms" that they named it Bloomington. A post office has operated there since 1825, and the town was incorporated in 1827.
Indiana University was established in Bloomington in 1820, and its Bloomington campus, the flagship of the university system, now enrolls more than 45,000 students. From the 1860s through the 1880s many African Americans moved to Bloomington from Virginia, the Carolinas, Ohio, Tennessee and Kentucky, and the town also drew Scotch-Irish Presbyterians from South Carolina. The city's places on the National Register of Historic Places include the Monroe County Courthouse and Courthouse Square Historic District, the Andrew Wylie House, the Monroe Carnegie Library, the Second Baptist Church, the Illinois Central Railroad freight depot and the Woolery Stone Company, along with historic neighborhoods such as Prospect Hill and Vinegar Hill. The city's logo, adopted on January 6, 1986, combines a peony and a trout lily, drawn from 19th-century regional quilt patterns and the shape of the downtown square. Bloomington was the setting of the 1979 Academy Award-winning film Breaking Away, which features a reenactment of an Indiana University bicycle race. Sources Wikipedia: Bloomington, Indiana
