Terre Haute history

The name Terre Haute is a French phrase meaning high land, and was used by the French explorers in the area in the mid 18th century. In 1811, construction of Fort Harrison marked the known beginning of permanant population by non-natives (a Wea village already existed near the fort). The city is best known historically for being the birthplace of socialist leader Eugene V. Debs, actor Scatman Crothers, and baseball pitcher Tommy John.
