• History (GNIS):
  A settlement in 1827. The city was platted by Hugh Hanna and David Burr in 1834. Named for the Wabash River, whose name is a contraction of the Miami name, Wah-bah-shik-ki or Wah-pah-shik-ki. The Indian translation suggests that it was named for being white, bright, inanimate, or natural. Speculation is that this refers to a limestone bed in the upper part of the stream. (IN-T101/p335)
