Excerpt: Time in Indiana refers to the controversial time zone division of Indiana, and to the state's historical response to daylight saving time. The official dividing line between Eastern Time and Central Time has, over time, progressively moved west, from the IndianaOhio border, to a position where it divided Indiana down the middle, to the IndianaIllinois border as it is today. 19181961. The Standard Time Act of 1918 placed Indiana in the Central Time Zone. However, some communities chose to observe Eastern Time. A further complication was DST, which some communities observed while others did not. 19611967. In 1961, The Interstate Commerce Commission divides Indiana between the Eastern and Central Time Zones. However, uniform observance of the new time zone line never transpired. 19671977. From 1967 to 1977, six counties near Chicago, IL and six counties in and around Evansville, IN observed DST in the Central Time Zone; Five counties near Louisville, KY and Cincinnati, OH unofficially observed DST in the Eastern Time Zone; and the other 77 counties in Indiana observed Eastern Standard Time throughout the year. 19771991. In 1977, Pike County in Southern Indiana moved from the Central Time Zone to the Eastern Time Zone, where they observed Eastern Standard Time throughout the year. 19912006. In 1991, Starke County in Northern Indiana received approval to move to the Eastern Time Zone, where they observed Eastern Standard Time throughout the year. 2006March 2007.

Excerpt: 1 After Ohio, Patoka, Wabash, and White Rivers orsix including the Little Wabash, and Embarass Riversall of which join along the boundaries Knox, Gibsonor Posey Counties. Southwestern Indiana is a 11-county region of Indiana located at the southernmost and westernmost part of the state. As of the 2000 census, the region's combined population is 465,338. Evansville is the largest city and the regional hub for a tri-state area which includes Kentucky and Illinois. Other regional hubs include Jasper and Vincennes. Southwestern Indiana's topography is considerably more varied and complex than most of Indiana, including large tracts of forest, marshes, rolling fields, flat valleys, and a chain of low mountains and high hills. Every county in Southwestern Indiana is bounded by a river at one point, whether it be by the Wabash River along the west, The Ohio River by the south, the White River, dividing the six northern counties between its two forks, or other smaller rivers. More than 50% of the boundaries of Daviess, Gibson, Knox, Perry, Posey, and Spencer Counties are dictated by a river or a creek. 80% of Knox County's boundaries are dictated by either the Wabash River or the White River. Additionally, over half of the area is located within the Wabash Valley Seismic Zone. Southwestern Indiana has clusters of separate towns of varying sizes and layouts. Vincennes is laid out in the French quadranglar while Jasper and Princeton are laid out in a standard grid. Evansville is laid out in both...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=14253123 ... Read more
