In 1816, the year Indiana became a state, Congress set aside four sections of central Indiana land for a future capital, provided the tribes there were removed. Under the Treaty of St. Mary's in 1818, the Delaware and Miami gave up the land and agreed to leave by 1821. Historians disagree on who settled first. George Pogue and his family may have arrived on March 2, 1819, on the creek later called Pogue's Run, while John Wesley McCormick and his family are often credited with settling by the White River in February 1820.
The legislature approved the capital site and adopted the name Indianapolis on January 6, 1821, and Alexander Ralston and Elias Pym Fordham surveyed the town plan. The state government moved there from Corydon on January 1, 1825. Indianapolis was incorporated as a town in 1832 and as a city effective March 30, 1847, with Samuel Henderson as mayor. The National Road came through in 1827, the first railroad arrived in 1847, and Indianapolis Union Station opened in 1853, the first of its kind in the world. In the Civil War, Governor Oliver P. Morton made the city a rallying point for Union troops. President-elect Lincoln visited on February 11, 1861, on his way to his inauguration. After orders to raise regiments went out on April 16, 1861, more than 12,000 recruits signed up within a week. An estimated 4,000 men from Indianapolis served and about 700 died, and the city's population more than doubled between 1860 and 1870. Sources Wikipedia: Indianapolis
