Indiana
means "land of the Indians." It joined the Union in 1816 as the
19th state. Today, Indiana is a state of mostly small towns and
midsize cities. Its largest city and capital is Indianapolis,
where the nation's most famous auto race, the Indianapolis 500,
is held each year. The state's residents are commonly referred
to as "Hoosiers" although no one seems certain just how the name
originated. The peony is the state flower.
