It is situated on the Ohio & Mississippi and Evansville & Crawfordsville railroads, and on the Wabash river, and was first settled, certainly as early as 1735,.and by some accounts in 1710. It's history is the history of the State up to 1816 when the State constitution was formed. It has been owned successively by the French, English, Virginia and the United States. For many years its growth was slow, its inhabitants in 1840 numbering only 2,500, and not until the completion of its railroads in 1857 did it begin its present substantial and vigorous growth. The new bridge across the Wabash is a solid and elegant structure of seven hundred and twenty-three feet, in hight [sic], with four spans and a draw one hundred and forty-seven feet wide. It was built by a stock company at a cost of $90,000, and forms a safe and commodious covered highway between Indiana and Illinois. The city possesees excellent schools and religious advantages, and has numerous manufactories, stores, shops, etc. Its present population is about 8,000, and is rapidly increasing Agricultural Implements.
