A little bit about Kosciusko County:
Kosciusko is one of the counties in the northern
Indiana Lake Region. Kosciusko County was organized between the years
of 1835 and 1837, and is named in honor of Thaddeus Kosciuszko, a
Polish Noble who fought with George Washington in the Revolutionary
War. He was born in Warsaw, Poland, thus suggesting the name Warsaw for
the county seat. In area, this is one of the largest counties in the
state of Indiana, with a total of 541 square miles in its seventeen
townships.
Kosciusko County is privileged to have a wealth of
natural lakes, which provide recreational boating, fishing, and general
enjoyment. In the State of Indiana there are 44 major lakes. The county
is privileged to have Lake Wawasee, which is the largest natural lake,
at approximately 3400 acres, and Lake Tippecanoe, the deepest lake, at
approximately 120 feet.
In addition to its wonderful natural resources, the
county seat, Warsaw, boasts the title of "Orthopedic Manufacturing
Capital of the World." The county is also fundamentally an agricultural
area, having some of the best soil in the northern part of the state.
Portions of its land is underlaid with large deposits of marl.
