The area of the midwestern United States known today as North Manchester, Indiana, began as home to the Potawatomi Indian tribe when they settled near the Kenapocomoco River in 1750. The first Caucasian child was born in the same area in 1837.The town now has a population of approximately 6,000 residents within a 3 square mile area.
North Manchester has been named "Small Town USA" by ABC's Good Morning America. It offers a victorian village appearance filled with historic homes and quaint shops. North Manchester is also home to nationally recognized Manchester College and is the birthplace of US Vice President Thomas Marshall. People living here enjoy a superior public school system, two excellent retirement facilities, a symphony orchestra and churches of varied religions.
