Warren County, Indiana, is located in the western part of the U.S. state of Indiana, between the Illinois border and the Wabash River. Before the arrival of non-indigenous settlers in the early 1800s, the area was inhabited by several Native American tribes, especially the Miami, Kickapoo and Potawatomi. The county was officially established on March 1, 1827. It covers an area of 366 sqmi with a population of about 8,500 people and is one of the most rural counties in the state. It has some of the state's most productive farmland, with a 2009 corn harvest of over 17 million bushels. To the north and west, the land consists largely of open prairie, whereas the land along the river in the south and east is more hilly and wooded. The state's highest waterfall is located in the county seat of Williamsport. (more...)
