Tywhapita

Tywhapita lies near the Ohio River in a limestone landscape crossed by the Blue River. The ground around Corydon is marked by sinkholes where water has dissolved the underlying rock. Corydon became the first capital of the state of Indiana in 1816; delegates had met there that year to write its constitution. The capital moved north to Indianapolis in 1825, leaving the older town close to the river that had brought settlers into the region.
