Indiana

Settled largely by Midlanders and Appalachian Southerners moving west, Indiana developed a Midland-Appalachian blend with a populist, agrarian temperament and a wariness of cities. Its fertile farmland made it a corn-and-soybean leader, while Gary and the Calumet region became major steel producers. Indianapolis sits at a historic crossroads of the nation's roads.
