- W1566148407 abstract "Corydon was the center of the stage of Indiana politics and Indiana government during the interlude of twelve years between the period when old Vincennes was the capital and the period since the capital was moved to the newly founded Indi anapolis. From 1813 to 1825 the political capital of the state was the little hamlet in the hills of Harrison County, a very sm?ll settlement?a few score houses and a population of a few hundred. Corydon has never grown into a large city? it has no through railroad, no large buildings, no great factor ies, and no sensational news to attract attention to it ; but in the twelve years when the town was the seat of government for territory and state, it became historic. The reason why Corydon was made the capital is of some interest and presents some complications. Vincennes at that time was still the most important city in Indiana; but in 1809, when Illinois Territory was formed, Vincennes ceased to be the geographical center of the territory of which it was the capital. It was off to one side on the very border line of Indi ana. A more central location was desirable. Corydon was not as accessible as it might have been, but it was not for from the center of population, being as near as any place could be to the halfway mark between the east and west borders, and half way between the north and south borders of the settled area. Citizens of Brookville, Lawrenceburg, and Madison on the east side, and Cannelton, Rockport, Evansville, Vincennes, and other settlements on the west could meet at Corydon as con veniently as at any other place. In addition there was a political reason for the change. Governor Harrison, after the war with Great Britain broke out in 1812, was absent from the territory most of the time. He turned his official civil duties over to the secretary, John Gibson, who became acting governor. Governor Thomas Posey was appointed as Harrison's successor and took his of fice in 1813. Harrison's adherents were strongest in and around Vincennes. There was, moreover, opposition to Har rison, both personal and political. At that time it was headed by Jonathan Jennings, from 1807 to the end, a very bitter per sonal enemy of Harrison. Jennings had moved from Vincennes" @default.
