Terre Haute

City and administrative headquarters of Vigo County, west Indiana, USA, on the Wabash River, 109 km/68 mi southwest of Indianapolis; population (2000) 59,600. It is the commercial and industrial centre of an agricultural and coal-mining region. Plastics, chemicals, building products, metalware, and glass are manufactured. The city is the home of Indiana State University (1865) and the Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology (1874).

Terre Haute was laid out in 1816, on a plateau named by the French. Points of interest include the birthplaces of the author Theodore Dreiser and song writer Paul Dresser, and the home of the labour leader Eugene V Debs.
