It is interesting to note that the Indians inhabiting northwestern Indiana, especially the Noble County district, at the time of the first settlement by white people and long before were of the Algonquin stock and the Pottawatomie nations. Individuals of other tribes were undoubtedly among them -Ottawas, Shawnee-s, Miam-is, etc. The Miamis were naturally more numerous than any other people besides the Pottawatomies, for the Niiamis were the aboriginal possessors of the country and had permanent possessions of the regions south, at Fort Wayne, in the Whitley and southern Kosciusko territory. ' U RESTING PLACE OF GREAT TRAIL. The spot on which the town of Ligonier stands was for many years a resting place on the great east and west Indian trail, and was noted for its wild strawberries which grew in abundance throughout this I section in the summer months. The Elkhart river also abounded in fish, and wild E deer and other game which furnished the food supply for the Indian tribes were 1 plentiful. : E SETTLERS. Ligonier, Indiana, like most of the prosperous cities of the state was : first settled by sturdy pioneers from Pennsylvania and many of the New England 5 states, who landed in the wilderness and laid the foundation for the numerous com- S munities which have developed into productive points of commerce and incidentally E peace and plenty. The name Ligonier was b'rought from Pennsylvania by Isaac E Cavin, one of the founders, who was a native ot' Ligonier, Pennsylvania. This city -1 of Ligonier was named after and in honor of Colonel Ligonier of Revolutionary War : fame who fought under George Washington. : U I 'J i a 1 , I - -.h Page 10
