Wyandot, Indiana

Wyandot (sometimes shown as Wyandotte[2]) was a small town, now extinct, in Sheffield Township, Tippecanoe County, in the U.S. state of Indiana.

The Indian town of Wyandot in Sheffield Township was located in the ravine that is crossed by Dayton Road and runs past Wyandotte Cemetery into the Wildcat Creek.

It is thought that the Indians moved their village down to the creek's banks in the summer and retreated up the ravine in the winter.

When the White Settlers arrived, the Indians living there were probably neither Miami or Wyandott, but instead were most likely Potawatomi.

It was owned by Jean-Baptiste Richardville and in 1818 the land surrounding the village was divided into five sections for his five children.
