The Area Indiana is a scenic small town nestled in the hills of Western Pennsylvania. Established in 1803, it was named after the Native America population in the area and was the result of a land donation from Declaration of Independence signer George Clymer. Since then, Indiana has grown to a population of over 15,000 people and covers approximately 4.5 square kilometers. There is a great history to Indiana, which is apparent to visitors in its classic main street, Philadelphia Street, and its 19th century architecture. Two of the most notable structures are the Indiana County Courthouse and the First Commonwealth Golden Tower. |
