The Hoosier State is a strange one. We cannot seem to get our geography straight. My Alma Mater, Wabash College is in neither Wabash the city nor Wabash County. It is not located on the Wabash River, but it is near Sugar Creek.
Clinton is not in Clinton County. Fort Wayne is not in Wayne County, but Richmond is. One of the largest Naval Bases in the USA is in Indiana. I bet you did not know that. It is not located on Lake Michigan, but in the hills of Martin and Greene Counties.
There is a city of Madison (home of a famous hydroplane race) but it is not in Madison County. There are towns named Greencastle, Greendale, Greenfield, Greensburg, Greentown, and Greenwood. None are in Greene County. Switz City is in Greene County, but not Switzerland County. Decatur is not in Decatur County. Of course you will not be surprised to find out that Booneville is not in Boone County, nor is Marion in Marion County.
No wonder people think we are a screwed up state, the inspiration for Foxworthy and his rednecks.
