Indiana has long called itself the "Crossroads of America." This dates back to the creation of the federal highway system in 1926. Terre Haute was the site of the intersection of Route 40 (the main east-west highway) and Route 41 (the main north-south highway). (See Waymark WM1F5Q (

Abraham Lincoln spent the formative years of his youth (ages 7 to 21) living in southern Indiana. (
