Historic Map - South Bend, IN - 1890
Description
South Bend, Ind. 1890.
Reproduction historic map of South Bend, Indiana, published in 1890. 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 officially incorporated as a town in 1835, and as a city in 1865.
During the mid-1800's, the two man-made canals along the St. Joseph River became the industrial center of South Bend, establishing manufacturing as the corner stone of South Bend's economy. Several of the prominent mills are referenced on the map. Also referenced are the soon-to-be famous "Singer Sewing Machine Co." and "Studebaker Brother's Wagon, Coach and Carriage Factories", later to become the manufacturer of Studebaker automobiles.
The "Oliver Chilled Plow Works" company is also referenced on the map. The company's founder, James Oliver, invented a practical solution to the sticky soil problems that farmers were encountering as they tried to plow the newly settled farms in the Midwest. Oliver's processes that he patented in 1857 and in 1869 proved to be a great success and created a demand for his plows with production rising from 1,500 plows in 1871, to 17,000 plows per year, by 1874.
An illustration of the Leeper & Ried Brick Mfg. Co. appears in the right margin and an illustration of Coquillard Park is featured in the lower right margin of the map.
