Title	Indiana Centennial Card No. 02
Description	Series 1. No. 2. Map of Original Indiana M. R. Hyman, Publisher, Indianapolis The Original Indiana To those who have never heard of any Indiana other than the one we live in the map here presented will, at first glance, be an enigma. This triangular tract approximately enclosed by the Ohio river, the Little Kanawha river and the western ranges of the Appalachian mountains, lies in what is now West Virginia. Few maps present it, and none other so well as this, published in 1778, by Thomas Hutchins, one of the first American cartographers. The original “Indiana” was recognized by that name from about 1768 to the latter part of the eighteenth century. Soon after the passing of the French possessions into the hands of England the tract, consisting of about 5,000 square miles, was given by the Iroquois Indians to a trading company that had been organized in Philadelphia, as indemnity for goods that had been forcibly seized by some predatory bands. The recipients of this rather generous restitution honored the donors by naming the tract “Indiana,” or the land of the Indians. After the Revolutionary war both Virginia and the United states refused to recognize the title claimed by the company; Virginia took over the land, and the name applied to it ceased to exist. When Indiana Territory was formed in 1800, the name was probably borrowed from the previous tract, though why or by whom is not known. Adapted from Cottman-Hyman Centennial History of Indiana.
