From the guidebook, we learn:
LA PORTE (815 alt, 16,180 pop), seat of La Porte County, is a pleasant, bustling manufacturing city, surprisingly clean for a manufacturing center. The red sandstone tower of the La Porte County Courthouse rises above the public square, surrounded on all sides by wide, shaded residential streets. Nine lakes are clustered to the north and west of the town, two of them within the city limits.
---- Indiana: A Guide to the Hoosier State, 1941
The town has not grown much over the years being only 21,621 in the 2000 census. Current industry appears to be parts manufacturing in support of auto industry and others.
