Discover Elkhart
In 1829 the Village of Pulaski was established on the north side of the St. Joseph River, with a post office, a mill and a few houses. Dr. Havilah Beardsley, who had come west from Ohio, bought a square mile of land from Pierre Moran, a Potawatomi chief of half-French descent, to found a rival town called Elkhart; Wikipedia dates the purchase to August 9, 1821, which would be earlier than Pulaski's founding. Elkhart was platted with 48 lots on April 30, 1832, the Pulaski post office was renamed Elkhart in 1839, and Elkhart was incorporated as a town in 1858 and as a city in 1875.
More about Elkhart
Elkhart County was settled mainly by New Englanders and their descendants from upstate New York, whose migration surged after the Erie Canal opened and again after the Black Hawk War, and most were Protestants. Many county residents fought for the Union in the Civil War. In the late 1880s and early 1890s Irish and German settlers arrived, most of them from elsewhere in the Midwest, especially Ohio. The Michigan Southern and Northern Indiana Railroad built the first rail line through the city in 1851, and the first passenger train came through in 1852. By the early 20th century musical instrument factories, Miles Laboratories, which began as the Dr. Miles Medical Company, and many mills formed the base of the economy. The first recreational vehicle factory opened in Elkhart in 1934, others followed, and after World War II growth resumed so that by 1949 Elkhart was called the RV Capital of the World.
