THE NARCISSUS p OUR POST OFFICE , OUR COMMUNITY A great city is that which has the greatest men and wcmzenv-Wlzritmcm. QN October 23, 1826, the Miami Indians unpro- testingly, if grudgingly, ceded to the United States a large tract of land which included the present Miami County. Peru, the county seat, was the first section of the county to receive per- manent white settlement. The section of land on which Peru was plotted, came into the possession of John B.

During the early days the Wabash river furn- ished the sole outlet for the commerce of this vicinity. However, in the early thirties the Wa- bash-Erie Canal was completed, opening another artery to the commerce of Miami County. The canal soon gave up a large part of its traffic to a swifter carrier in 1846, for in that year the old Peru and Indianapolis Railroad was chartered. In 1856 the Wabash Railroad, a railroad that sounded the death knell for the Wabash-Erie Ca- nal, was opened for traffic. When electric trans- portation made its advent, in the late nineties and the early nineteen-hundreds, Peru was honored by having the Union Traction, the Wabash Valley Traction and the Winona Traction enter her lim- its. The city has likewise been honored by having Page Two
