County Seat: Wabash.

Wabash County was formed from Cass and Grant counties in 1832, and named after the Wabash River which flows through it. One of two counties named for the Wabash River, the other being Wabash County, IL. The first settlements occurred near the present city of Wabash, after a treaty with the Miami and Potawatomi Indians. New farm land and the construction of the Wabash and Erie Canal brought many people to this region in the mid 1830's.

One of only two counties with the name Wabash, the other being Wabash County, Illinois located roughly 250 miles downstream near Princeton, Indiana.
