Indiana - 50 States - US Geography

Indiana is called the "Hoosier State" for ...mysterious reasons. The state is also known for its many quirky city names, and scenic covered bridges. From the Indianapolis 500 to a town called Popcorn, Indiana has it all.

Our series of US geography videos "Visit the 50 States," gives you a little history and interesting facts about each state. For every state, you'll learn when it entered the Union, what's its motto, how did it get its nickname, and see what the flag, seal, and state capitol building all look like. We'll find the state capital on the map! There's also fun trivia - do you know the state tree, flower, and bird? Watch and find out!

Indiana is not bad at all we've got Notre Dame, Indiana University, Purdue, the pacers, Colts and lots of nice citys

[pirateslifeme]

I've reached the age where I am perfectly content with the state I was born in, the place I returned to on purpose after traveling the world. I belong here; it is me. I'm also perfectly fine with no one else liking it 😄 I find it so beautiful and nourishing. I love to travel and see other places, and I love to come home to Indiana ❤️‍🔥

Why do people say Indiana has nothing to offer. There is the Indinapolis Zoo the Indianapolis Childrens Museum (the largest in the world), there is the Indiana dunes and last but not least corn. ( but seriously Indiana is awesome)

[thepugtao]

Indiana, where the weather makes no sense and there is corn everywhere. I'm not even exaggerating

I live in Indiana have for my whole life.And to people who think it's a barren waste land with nothing your wrong.But don't be surprised if there's corn or soy beans outside your neighborhood here.Seriously there's corn right outside my neighborhood.

[darrenkrock]

Indiana is an average state with all the ammenities of other states. Major universities, state parks, malls, the Indy 500, the NFL, NBA, museums, orchestras, easy access to the east coast and Chicago. It's people live their daily lives the same as anyone else. By what measure is Indiana boring???

[zkb]

[noahkim]

[spectersoul]

[WheatsTsu]

There's a town in Indiana that receives all the Santa Claus letters that kids send and some even get a response

[ACDCguy]

Indiana is the best state in the whole country because in it lives Holly, who is the best person in the whole world. Whoever goes to this state is extremely lucky to be in the same state as her. She is amazing.
