Evansville: Introduction

The seat of Vanderburgh County, Evansville is the center of a metropolitan area that includes Warrick, Gibson, and Posey counties in Indiana and Henderson County in Kentucky. Well-positioned in the days of the steamboat, the city occupies a unique prospect on a U-bend of the Ohio River. Today modern architecture mixes with historic structures to make Evansville an effective blend of the present with the past.
