SULLIVAN,
The county seat of Sullivan county, was laid out in 1842, and for a number of years its progress was but slight. The location of the Evansville and Crawfords- ville Railroad past the town has given it an impetus destined to make it one of the first inland towns in the State. The town is situated on rolling ground, and for health is unsurpassed. Being near the center of the county its business is fast increasing. The merchants are doing a good business and are all on a safe foundation. Two steam saw mills and one flouring mill are in constant opera- tion, but still are unable to supply the demand made on them. Sullivan is sit- uated about 26 miles south-east of Terre Haute and 100 miles south-west of In- dianapolis. Besides the county buildings there are two churches erected and one

TERRE HAUTE.
The beautiful city of Terre Haute is situ- ated upon a high, level plateau, on the east bank of the Wabash River, in Vigo county, Indiana. The site is remarkably level and beautiful, and, in this respect, is not, perhaps, surpassed by any place in the Western country. The streets are rectangular, and, with the points of the compass, wide, spacious, clean, and gen- erally ornamented with fine shade trees,

and lighted with gas. The city lies upon | is owned by actual residents, and it is a the western margin of Fort Harrison significant mark of the thrift of the citi- zens that almost every householder is also a free holder and owns a residence. Prairie, and from its peculiarity of loca- tion many years ago received the sobriquet of the "Prairie City," by which it is now generally known.
The town of Terre Haute was laid out by a company of individuals in 1816, and its name is composed of two French words, signifying "high land," which was doubt- less suggested by some of the old French traders of the Valley. Nor is it inappro- priate, the level of the city being some fifty feet above the low water flow of the river.
The first sales of lots were made in the fall of 1816.
In January, 1818, Vigo county was organized, and in the March following Terre Haute was selected as the county seat. This was the first upward impulse it received. To show how important the company considered its selection as the county seat, may be inferred from the amount of lots and cash they paid the Commissioners therefor. In consideration of the location, the company conveyed 80 lots, and the public square of eight lots, to the County Commissioners, and paid into the treasury, in cash and mortgage bonds, $4,000.
The years 1819, 1820 and 1821, were noted throughout the Wabash Valley for the general sickness which prevailed. These years are well remembered by the few old inhabitants who now remain. The town, in common with others throughout the Valley, suffered much. This for some time retarded its prosperity and that of the surrounding country. During the four years succeeding 1820, many of those who have since been among its most en- terprising and prominent citizens, arrived. There are many pleasing incidents con- nected with the first settlement and sub- sequent growth of the city, allusion to which, the space allotted to this sketch will not permit. From 1820 to 1850, the place has continued with a steady but a slow increase. Since 1850 it has more than doubled in population and impor- tance, and the better class of its buildings have been erected.
The present population of Terre Haute is between ten and eleven thousand, and is steadily increasing. There has been, however, no accurate census taken for some years past. The population, as shown by the general census of the Uni- ted States in 1550, was 4 051; in 1854, an enumeration exhibited a population of 7,000. In point of intelligence, energy and business character, its citizens will compare favorably with any others of the State. Nearly all the property of the city
Its healthfulness is not equaled by any place of its size, as is shown by its mor- tuary statistics, published monthly by the municipal authorities. The soil on which the city stands is a rich, porous loam, insuring speedy drainage, and overlies & basin of fine limestone water, furnishing at all points an unfailing supply to its wells. The public buildings, business houses and dwellings are beautiful, and many of them equal to those of any city. There is a great degree of taste and ele- gance displayed in the grounds, shrub- bery and lawns surrounding the private dwellings. In this respect, perhaps, Terre Haute has not an equal in the State. In the early settlement of the place great attention was paid to the planting of shade trees on the margins of the streets and throughout the public grounds.
It is one of the most accessible points in the state. The Wabash river is navi- gable a portion of the year for steamboats of the largest class. During its naviga- tion, steamers load from any of the Ohio or Mississippi ports direct for this place. It is connected with lake Erie and the Ohio river by the Wabash and Erie canal. The Terre Haute and Richmond railroad furnishes a direct communication with all the roads centering at Indianapolis. The Terre Haute, Alton and St. Louis railroad, passing through the fertile prairies of Illinois, gives a direct communication with the Mississippi at both Alton and St. Louis. The National Road passes through the city. The bridge and other improve- ments of the Terre Haute Draw Bridge Company, on which the principal one is the "bottom road," being a tine and sub- stantial road thrown up several feet above high water mark, and running entirely across the "bottomis," thereby insuring communication at all times with the Illi- nois trade. Good wagon roads extend from the city to all surrounding parts of the country, and its environs furnish as charming drives as can be found in the western country. Terre Haute has always been noted for the amount of its mercan- tile trade. For many years it has fur- nished a very large market for merchan- dize of every kind, and has been conspic- nous for the number, probity, wealth and energy of its merchants as a class. The amount of merchandize of all kinds retailed in the city, has doublless reached, for five years past, the annual average of $1,000,000. The banks of the city are three in number, representing a capital Fof $500,000. In addition to these char-
360

.
tered banks, there are two large private banking houses, owned by Messrs. Mc- Keen & Tousey, and Watson & Co.
The principal trade of Terre Haute, so far as amount of investment is concerned, has been in the article of pork. The an- nual number of hogs packed in this city during ten years past, has been as fol- lows :

Terre Haute offers great indueements for all kinds of manufacturing business ; fuel and labor are cheap and abundant. It is surrounded by extensive coal fields ; good quarries of building stone lie near; iron ores of superior quality are in close proximity, and with every facility for transportation by canal, river and rail- road.
There are published in the city, three daily and weekly newspapers, sustained by a liberal cireulation and patronage.
The Educational facilities of Terre Haute are good, and rapidly increasing. There are now owned by the city, four large and commodious brick buildings devoted to Publie Schools. Two of these buildings are perhaps the largest and most convenient in the state devoted to similar purposes. In addition to these, there are many private schools which are commanding a good patronage. Among the latter now in operation, may be noted St. Vincent's Academy for girls, under the control of the Sisters of Providence of St. Mary's- The new Female College is now completed, and is the most elegant and complete Female College in the west.
Nearly every religious creed is repre- sented in Terre Haute. Some of its churches are very spacious and beautiful. The various churches are well attended and prosperous.
In every point of view, and to every class, Terre Haute offers peculiar advan- tages as a place of residence. Its location is not surpassed in beauty or healthful- ness. Its business is large, population active, enterprising and liberal. There is, in proportion to the size of the city, a larger amount of actual capital than is usual in the west. Among the citizens are quite a number distinguished for their large wealth. There is, in the city, as polite and refined society as may be found in the west. In the various professions, there is a baker's dozen of talent, and some of the professional men of the city
occupy the foremost ranks of their call- ing in the State.
The future prospects of the eity are flat- tering. With a continuance ofthe steady inerease even of the four years past, it will soon become a place of importance. If there be a speedy impulse given to its manufacturing interests by the attraction of capital from abroad, and a diver- sion of a portion of its present capital from other channels into manufacturing. it must eventually become a large inland point. For such an end nature has done everything desirable in regard to loca- tion, and the future of Terre Haute is fore- told by the exhaustless mines of coal, the heavy growth of the best of timber, near to, and in every direction from the eity, and the superior facilities for the trans- portation of every product by canal, river and railroad.
