Switzerland County, Indiana


Switzerland County was formed in 1814. It was named for the home country of many of the early settlers. No railroad tracks were ever laid in Switzerland County, which hindered its growth in the 19th century, after the decline of steamboat travel.[3][4] Industrial wine grape production in Switzerland County earned the area the title "The Rhineland of America".[5]
