Indiana City, Indiana

It was located in present-day Marquette Park in Miller Beach, near the southern tip of Lake Michigan.

[1] Had it been built, the town would have stretched for 25 blocks, covering much of present-day Miller Beach from the lakeshore to the former Indian boundary line.

[4] The site's strategic location at the river mouth had attracted attention early on.

Bennett's Tavern, which served the stagecoaches that ran along the lakeshore, had been built near the site in 1833 and remained in operation for several years thereafter.

[3] In subsequent years, the mouth of the Grand Calumet drifted shut, creating the Miller Lagoons, which are now the headwaters of a river that flows in the opposite direction from that of the 1830s.
