Indiana is an United States state in the Midwest of the United States. It is the 38th largest in each zone and the 17th largest population in the 50 United States. The capital and largest town is Indianapolis. Indiana was accepted into the United States as a state on 11 December 1816. It is bordered by Lake Michigan to the northwest, Michigan to the north, Ohio to the east, the Ohio River and Kentucky to the south and southeast, and the Wabash River and Illinois to the west.

Before becoming a land, different indigenous peoples lived in Indiana for thousands of years. Since its founding as a territory, settlement patterns in Indiana have reflected regional cultural segmentation present in the Eastern United States; the state’s northernmost tier was settled primarily by people from New England and New York, Central Indiana by migrants from the Mid-Atlantic states and adjacent Ohio, and Southern Indiana by settlers from the Southern states, particularly Kentucky and Tennessee.

Today, Indiana’s economy is mainly based on services, manufacturing and, to a lesser degree, agriculture. Its northern regions lie within the mainstream of the industrial belt stretching from Pennsylvania and New York to Illinois. Agricultural activity is most prevalent in the central region of the Corn Belt, which extends from Ohio to Nebraska.

While Indiana is historically part of the North, many parts of the state have a character that closely resembles that of the South. This is largely a reflection of the early establishment of the region by southern migrants, who brought with them a sincere distrust of the federal government.

Many of Indiana’s people take pride in a self-image derived largely from 19th-century America that values hard work, is oriented to the small town and medium-sized city, and is interested in maintaining the prerogatives of local self-determination. It is not by coincidence that the Indiana’s nickname, Hoosier, remains a symbol in the country’s lore for a kind of homespun wisdom, wit, and folksiness that harks back to what is popularly regarded as a less-hurried and less-complicated period of history.

Indiana forms part of the east-central lowlands that slope downward from the Appalachian Mountains to the Mississippi River. Most of the state’s surface was modified by glacial action, leaving a vast quantity of excellent soil material and extensive deposits of sand, gravel, glacial till, and loess. The more-eroding southern part of the state gives way to the central plain, an extremely fertile agricultural belt with large farms, and then to the mostly flat glacial lake basin and moraine (rocky glacial debris) region of northern Indiana. The highest elevation is near the Ohio border, at about 1,250 feet (380 metres) above sea level, while the lowest point, at roughly 330 feet (100 metres), is in the southwest where the Wabash River enters the Ohio River. About 90 percent of the land lies between 500 and 1,000 feet (150 and 300 metres). In Indiana people transport equipment for many reasons.
