History


Tippecanoe was settled beginning in 1882. The original town was located 1 mile to the north and was platted as Tippecanoe Town in 1850, named for the Tippecanoe River to the south. After the railroad was built 1 mile south, the town was relocated. The original Tippecanoe Town was renamed Old Tip Town.[3]

Benack's Village was located 1.4 mile (2.3 km) ENE from Tippecanoe, across the Tippecanoe River in what is now Potawatomi Wildlife Park.
