Indiana is a state located in the Midwest region of the United States. It is the 38th largest U.S. state in terms of total area. The name “Indiana” derives from the word “Indianapolis”, the capital city of Indiana. Indianapolis is named after the tribe of Indians who lived in the area before European settlement.

Indiana is bordered by Michigan to the north and east, Illinois to the west, Kentucky to the south, and Ohio to the east. The geography of Indiana varies from dense forests in the north to rolling hills and farmland in the central part of the state, to flatlands and wetlands in the south.
