Historical information FYI: Indiana Territory was created in 1800. The first
territorial capital was Vincennes. Michigan Territory was separated from
Indiana in 1805 and Illinois Territory in 1809. Corydon, Harrison County became
the territorial capitol with the legislature meeting in the county courthouse in
1813. Indiana gained statehood 11 December 1816 as the 19th state and the
second state formed from the Northwest Territory. Corydon and the county
courthouse served as the first state capitol until 1825 when it moved to its
present location.
