About Indiana Now that you are relocating to Indiana, it might interest you to note that Indiana's 41-mile Lake Michigan waterfront happens to be one of the world's great industrial centers famous for its iron, steel, and oil products. Products include automobile parts and accessories, mobile homes and recreational vehicles, truck and bus bodies, aircraft engines, farm machinery, and fabricated structural steel. Wood office furniture and pharmaceuticals are also manufactured. The state is also a leader in agriculture with corn the principal crop. Hogs, soybeans, wheat, oats, rye, tomatoes, onions, and poultry also contribute heavily to Indiana's agricultural output. Additionally, much of the building limestone used in the U.S. is quarried in Indiana, which is also a large producer of coal. First explored for France by Robert Cavelier, Sieur de la Salle, in 1679–1680, the region figured importantly in the Franco-British struggle for North America that culminated with British victory in 1763. Not to leave education behind, Indiana is home to three of the nation's most respected universities: Notre Dame in South Bend, Purdue in West Lafayette and the University of Indiana at Bloomington.
