Indianapolis is the capital of the U.S. state of Indiana. The city lies on the White River. It is famous for hosting a yearly sports event—the Indianapolis 500 car race. The race brings thousands of visitors to the city each May. Indianapolis is a center of road, rail, and air transportation.
The history of Indianapolis spans three centuries. Founded in 1820, the area where the city now stands was originally home to the Lenape (Delaware Nation). In 1821, a small settlement on the west fork of the White River at the mouth of Fall Creek became the county seat of Marion County, and the state capital of Indiana, effective January 1, 1825.
