Evansville HistoryEvansville, Indiana. Evansville is located in Vanderburgh county and is the county seat. There were 100,000 residents in the 30\'s and 40\'s.A bit about Evansville:Situated on an oxbow in the Ohio River , the city is often referred to as the \"Crescent Valley\" or \"River City\". As a testament to the Ohio\'s grandeur, early French explorers named it La Belle Rivière (\"The Beautiful River\"). The area has been inhabited by various indigenous cultures for millennia, dating back at least 10,000 years. Angel Mounds was a permanent settlement of the Mississippian culture from 1000 AD to around 1400 AD. The European-American city was founded in 1812.The city saw exponential growth in the early twentieth century with the production of lumber and the manufacturing of furniture. By 1920, Evansville had more than two dozen furniture companies. In the decades of the 1920s and 1930s, city leaders attempted to improve Evansville\'s transportation position and successfully lobbied to be on the Chicago-to-Miami \"Dixie Bee Highway\" ( U.S. Highway 41 ). A bridge was built across the Ohio River in 1932 and in that same decade steps were taken to develop an airport.But the Ohio River flood of 1937 covered 500 city blocks in Evansville, resulting in a major crisis. With steamboats less necessary to the local economy, city and federal officials responded to the flood and its destruction by constructing more and higher levees: construction that penned and hid the Ohio River behind a barrier of earthen berms and concrete walls.
