Evansville is located in the southwest corner of Indiana along the banks of the Ohio River. It is the third largest city in the state of Indiana and is the regional hub for the Tri-State area. Evansville offers big city amenities while maintaining small town friendliness. It is an area that is truly known for Hoosier hospitality.
Evansville was established in 1812 by Hugh McGary as a land purchase from the U.S. government. He hired General Robert M. Evans, an attorney for whom the city was ultimately named, to assist him in incorporating Evansville as a city. On January 27, 1847 Evansville was officially incorporated as a city.
Today there are over 160,000 people who live in Vanderburgh County with another 100,000+ in surrounding communities. While most of Indiana is on eastern time, Evansville is the only major city in the central time zone. Average temperatures range from 32 degrees in the winter to 78 degrees in the summer. Annual rainfall averages 42 inches and annual snowfall averages 13 inches.
