McCabe in December 1865. On January 2, 1834, the Indiana Legislature passed a law which organized Miami County. The document lists the first officers, court sessions, taverns, stores, and newspapers. The first settled part of the county was north of the Wabash River. The Peru Bridge Company was incorporated on January 31, 1842. Railroads, churches, and preachers were noted.
