Wabash County
Population 35,120

Wabash County was formed politically by European Americans in 1835, when settlement increased after the American Revolution. They named it after the Wabash River. The name "Wabash" is an English transliteration of the earlier French name for the river, Ouabache. French traders derived the French version from the Indian name for the river, Wabashike (prounounced "Wah-bah-she-keh") (meaning "pure white".) Much of the river bottom is white limestone, now obscured by mud.

The County Seat is Wabash. After intense competition between the towns of Wabash and Lagro for the designation as the County Seat, an election made Wabash the County Seat by a majority of one vote. Wabash was first settled in 1835, and the first Courthouse was a brick structure forty feet square, costing $3,000, which was finished in 1839 and continued in use until June 17, 1871, when it was destroyed by fire. By 1849 Wabash contained about 200 houses ,of which one-fourth were of brick, and there were 1,000 inhabitants.
