Indiana Trivia

a few fun facts we recently learned 😉

Indiana is the smallest state west of the Appalachian mountains

The Wabash river (which runs through Indiana) is the longest free flowing river east of the Mississsippi.

Indianapolis is the second largest state capital.

As some of you know, Indiana grudgingly went to Daylight Savings time a few years ago.  Not many Hoosiers we know like it 😀  We were interested in this little part about daylight savings in Indiana on Wikipedia:

Indiana is one of thirteen U.S. states that is divided into more than one time zone. Indiana’s time zones have fluctuated over the past century. At present most of the state observes Eastern Time; six counties near Chicago and six near Evansville observe Central Time. Debate continues on the matter. (see how messed up we are?!)

Before 2006 (those were the good days), most of Indiana did not observe daylight saving time (DST). Some counties within this area, particularly Floyd, Clark, and Harrison counties near Louisville, Kentucky, and Ohio and Dearborn counties near Cincinnati, Ohio, unofficially observed DST by local custom. Since April 2006 the entire state observes DST. Although DST is supposed to save energy, a 2008 study of billing data before and after the change in 2006 concluded that residential electricity consumption had increased by 1% to 4%, primarily due to extra afternoon cooling and increased the state’s electrical bill by approximately $1,000,000 dollars annually.

So can we just go back to Eastern Standard?  Pretty please?!
