It was bright white limestone, shining up through clear water, that inspired Native Americans to name their sacred river "Waa-paah-siki" or the "Bright White". French fur traders shortened the name to "Ouabache" and the early settlers changed it again, to the name we know today: "Wabash."
The Wabash is Indiana's river. Its story of beauty and inspiration, of exploration and discovery, is the story of how we became who we are, both as a state and as a nation.
