About Nappanee, Indiana
Nappanee is a city of 6,949 people in Elkhart County, on flat ground that was once thick with woods and tamarack swamps. European settlers first arrived in 1830, but by 1870 only forty people lived on seven farms in the area. In 1872 the B&O Railroad set out to build a line west from Sandusky, Ohio, to Chicago, and the marshes here made the job hard. Workers finished a single track through this stretch in the late summer of 1874, and on December 6, 1874, trains began stopping at a place the railroad first called Locke's Station.
The older village of Locke, about six miles away, never got the five acres it needed for a side track, so a new town grew beside the tracks instead. On December 12, 1874, Daniel Metzler, Henry Stahly and John Culp Jr. platted Nappanee, and the two men split the railroad's land between them: Culp donated three acres for the station and Metzler two. According to the Eby brothers of Locke, the name was their idea, since they had come from Napanee, Ontario, though one of the Metzlers said his father chose it partly for its Native American sound. Nappanee became a town in 1889 and a city in 1925.
- From sawmill to RV plantsA sawmill was the town's first business, and makers of boxes, charcoal and furniture soon followed, along with a brickyard that opened before 1879. A canning company started in 1894. A hemp factory built by 1913 never ran at full capacity, and after it burned in 1920 no one rebuilt it. After World War II, Walco and Franklin Coach Company set up shop in Nappanee, and in 2014 the British firm Alexander Dennis opened a bus assembly plant here.
- Freckles, 1915 to 1973Merrill Blosser was the first artist from Nappanee to win national fame as a cartoonist. His strip Freckles and His Friends was syndicated by the Newspaper Enterprise Association from 1915 to 1973. Other cartoonists from town followed him, including Bill Holman, who drew Smokey Stover, and Fred Neher, who drew Life's Like That. A marker outside the public library now tells the story of the town's cartoonists.
- A divide at Market StreetNappanee sits at the headwaters of the Wabash River, right on a split between two great watersheds. Rain that falls south of Market Street runs to the Wabash, then the Ohio and the Mississippi, and finally the Gulf of Mexico. Rain that falls north of it heads for the Great Lakes and reaches the Atlantic by way of the St. Lawrence River.
- The tornado of 2007Around 10:30 at night on October 18, 2007, an EF3 tornado struck Nappanee. It hurt at least five people and damaged 200 to 250 buildings, about half of them badly, including the Fairmont Homes, Franklin Coach and Gulf Stream Coach factories, three of the town's biggest employers. Jobs were lost and the recovery was slow, but the local economy has since come back.
