Indianapolis
Indianapolis, a typical Midwest city and capital of Indiana, lies southeast of Lake Michigan on the White River - almost exactly in the centre of Indiana, on a site selected by ten government commissioners in 1820 for the new capital of the state. Indianapolis is now a university town (Indiana State University/Purdue University and University of Indianapolis) and an important commercial center. The agricultural products of the fertile surrounding area - cattle and grain - are traded and processed in Indianapolis, and among its main industrial products are medicines (insulin products), automobile parts and electrical apparatus. The city's world fame, however, comes from the "Indianapolis 500", the car race held annually on the Sunday before Memorial Day on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. This is the world's biggest single-day sporting event, drawing hundreds of thousands of motor sport fans.
