  • Number 22 in my list of counties to be traced out. Anybody living in these counties that wishes to put in information about them is more than welcome to. I only know more about Southwestern Indiana than the rest of the state, so I am only limited to what information I do know about them.
  • Number 2 of the counties of IN. Anybody living in these counties are living in Fort Wayne or New Heaven or maybe Zanesville. They Use To Live Next To Them.
  • I don't know. Leo-Cedarville and Huntertown are decent size towns too. It's like saying all of Gibson County lives in Princeton where only 45% really do.
