A Capital by Design
Indianapolis wasn't an accident! It was planned from the start to be Indiana's capital. A designer named Alexander Ralston, who helped plan Washington D.C., created a one-mile square with a circle in the very middle. That's Monument Circle today!
Four special streets—Massachusetts, Virginia, Indiana, and Kentucky Avenues—shoot out diagonally from the center, making it easy (and fun!) to find your way around downtown.
