Wabash is located in North Central Indiana, about
85 miles from Indianapolis. The land around Wabash
is mostly agricultural, where large crops of corn,
wheat and soybeans grow.
Wabash became the first electrically lighted city
in the world on March 31, 1880!
Other innovations to come out of this Hoosier city
are a hot water heating system and thermostats by
businessman Mark C. Honeywell. Mr. Honeywell made
his fortune as a co-founder of Honeywell, Inc. and
created the Honeywell Center in his hometown of
Wabash.
Country music singer Crystal Gayle and racecar driver
Jimmy Daywalt are also famous Wabash natives.
