About Terre Haute Indiana, IN
Terre Haute is a city in and the county seat of Vigo County, Indiana, United
States, near the state's western border with Illinois. Located along the Wabash
River, Terre Haute is the self-proclaimed capital of the Wabash Valley. The city
is home to several higher education institutions, including Indiana State
University, Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College, Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology
and Ivy Tech Community College of Indiana. Like all U.S. communities, Terre
Haute experienced economic swings as the country's economic base has evolved.
Before the Great Depression brought the U.S. economy to a halt, outside
influences such as Prohibition and the decline of the country's railroads had a
negative effect on two of Terre Haute's major industries -
distilleries/breweries and the railroad repair works. However, in 1940 it was
selected for a new United States penitentiary built on 1,126 acres south of the
city. Throughout the period, civic groups developed to work toward boosting the
economy. The Terre Haute Committee for Area Progress developed the Fort Harrison
Industrial Park in the 1970s. Grow Terre Haute in the mid-1980s urged on the
establishment of new stores, factories, and high-tech industrial parks that
helped to stabilize the economy and enhance community life. Most encouraging
were the arrival of the Digital Audio Disc Corporation (DADC), a subsidiary of
the global company, Sony, as the first American factory designed exclusively to
make compact discs. In other developments over these years, railroad overpasses
eased traffic congestion, law enforcement strengthened, and several national and
state awards for volunteerism and citizen participation boosted local pride.
With the efforts of nonprofit groups such as Downtown Terre Haute and the
expansion of the campus of Indiana State University, many positive changes have
once again spurred growth downtown. Several new hotels and businesses have been
added to the "Crossroads of America" near 7th & Wabash, outdoor events and
festivals attract crowds nearly every weekend during the summer months and the
7th Street Arts Corridor and Terre Haute Children’s Museum, completed in 2010,
enhance the appeal of the downtown area. It was these developments over several
years that inspired property owners throughout downtown to rehab and renovate
their buildings, including Hulman & Company and many individual owners.

birthday wishes come true?
