“Cayuga, Indiana”的意思、由来-开放百科全书

Cayuga is a town in Eugene Township, Vermillion County, in the U.S. state of Indiana.^[4] The population was 1,162 at the 2010 census.

History

When the town was laid out on September 20, 1827, it was called Eugene Station,^[5] though it was also called Osonimon after an Indian chief of that name.^[6] It was later renamed after the village of Cayuga and Cayuga Lake in the state of New York; an early settler named John Groenendyke had originally come from Cayuga County, New York and moved to Vigo County in 1818, then in 1819 moved to the area that later became Vermillion County. The name is based on the Iroquois term Gwa-u-geh, meaning "the place of taking out" (in terms of a portage). Local legend attributes the name to the sound made by the horn of a Ford Model T.^[7] The town was incorporated around 1891.^[8]
