South Bend is on the St. Joseph River and got its name because the city sits on the river’s southernmost bend.
The first residents were the Miami and Potawatomi tribes –and the river access eventually drew in an influx of fur traders.
Established in 1865, South Bend saw a business boom in industry thanks to the St. Joseph River. Studebaker, Oliver Chilled Plow, and Singer Sewing machines were just a few of the big names. But we can’t forget the University of Notre Dame. It’s a huge influence on the economy and culture in South Bend to this day.
