Wayne County
Organized in 1811
Named for Anthony Wayne
National Old Trail Road in Wayne County is marked by the 18-foot-high Madonna of the Trail statue. The National Road was a primary route for immigration into Indiana and provided access to essential eastern markets for Hoosier companies. Two such companies, Gennett Records and Starr Piano, produced millions of records and thousands of pianos and phonographs during the first quarter of the 20th century. |
