Welcome to the Newto News for March of 2024. My name is Zack Cockfield, and my team and I created Newtomedia as a way for visitors or new residents to get information about a city. Each month we bring together resources that will update you on the history, amenities, culture, future opportunities and all other things inside a city that make it unique. We also hope to be a resource for connecting you with people and businesses that can help you live a better life. If you find our efforts useful, please click on the links to get more information!

Indianapolis, Indiana, known as the “Crossroads of America,” has a rich history dating back to its founding in 1821. Originally inhabited by Native American tribes such as the Delaware, Miami, and Potawatomi, the area became a major trading hub due to its location at the confluence of several major transportation routes. In the mid-19th century, Indianapolis grew rapidly as a center for manufacturing, with industries such as automotive, pharmaceuticals, and steel becoming vital to the city’s economy. The construction of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in 1909 solidified the city’s reputation as a hub for auto racing, hosting the prestigious Indianapolis 500 every year. Today, Indianapolis is a vibrant and diverse city known for its cultural attractions, thriving arts scene, and world-class sports teams. With a strong sense of community and a commitment to innovation, Indianapolis continues to grow and thrive as a major metropolitan center in the Midwest.
