Evansville was named for General Robert Morgan Evans, one of the original proprietors of Evansville. Situated on an oxbow in the Ohio River, the city is often referred to as the “Crescent Valley” or “River City”. Early French explorers named it La Belle Rivière (“The Beautiful River”).
The city was incorporated in 1817. It was designated as the county seat on January 7, 1818. The county was named for Henry Vanderburgh, a deceased chief judge of the Indiana Territorial Supreme Court.
