Marion County,
Indiana
Marion
County is located in the U.S. State of Indiana.
Census 2010 recorded a population of 903,393,
making it the largest county in the state and 55th
most populated county in the country, greater than
the population of six states. The county seat is
Indianapolis, the state capital and largest city.
Marion County is consolidated with Indianapolis
through an arrangement known as Unigov.
Marion County is included in the
Indianapolis-Carmel-Anderson, IN Metropolitan
Statistical Area.
Marion County was created on April 1, 1822, from
part of the so-called "New Purchase" lands that
had been obtained by the Treaty of St. Mary's; the
Lenape had previously occupied the area. It is
named for Francis Marion, a Brigadier General from
South Carolina in the American Revolutionary War.
The state capital was moved to Indianapolis in
Marion County from Corydon on January 10, 1825, which began a period of rapid growth in population.
