Indiana means "land of the Indians." It joined the Union in 1816 as
the 19th state. Today, Indiana is a state of mostly small towns and
midsize cities. Its largest city and capital is Indianapolis, where
the nation's most famous auto race, the Indianapolis 500, is held each
year. The state's residents are commonly referred to as "Hoosiers"
although no one seems certain just how the name originated. The peony
is the state flower.
