Historic Map - South Bend, IN - 1866
Description
South Bend, Indiana 1866. Drawn & published by A. Ruger.
Reproduction historic map of South Bend, Indiana, published in 1866. The first fur-trading post in the area that is now known as South Bend was called Big St. Joseph Station, established by American Fur Company agent Pierre Frieschutz Navarre in 1820. The area became known as St. Joseph's until 1829, when the post office designated the town as Southold. The name was changed to South Bend the following year, due to the confusion created by other towns named Southold. The town was incorporated as a town in 1835, and as a city in 1865, just one year before the publication of this map.
The University of Notre Dame, founded in 1842 by Reverend Edward Sorin, is referenced on the map, including an inset illustration of the campus.
