WABASH.

The capital of Wabash county, on the Wabash river, and on the Toledo, Wabash &
Western railroad, sixty-seven miles from Lafayette and one hundred and
thirty-six from Toledo. It was settled in 1834, and has sustained a steady
increase ever since, and now has a population of about 4,300. It is surrounded
by a rich agricultural country well watered by the Wabash river. The city is
located on the banks of the river, on a high elevation of bottom lands well
supplied with excellent building stone. Wabash, for its religious and scholastic
interests and advancements, is equal to any point in the State. It has quite a
number of manufacturing/establishments of various kinds, and a good
representation of the different trades and professions. The press here is well
conducted and adds much to the interests and prosperity of the place. The Union
High School at Wabash is a splendid school building, and is capable of
accommodating six hundred pupils. It is three stories high, and was erected in
1858 at a cost of $13,000.
