Whitley County
Organized in 1838
Named for William Whitley
Farmers produce large crops of corn, hay, and winter wheat in Whitley County, where more than 80 percent of the land is used for farming. The county's contributions to the arts include the manufacturing of internationally renowned bassoons. Columbia City's native son, Thomas R. Marshall, served as vice president of the United States under President Woodrow Wilson. |
