North Manchester, Indiana
North Manchester is a town in Chester Township, Wabash County, in the U.S. state of Indiana. The population was 5,273 at the 2020 census.
Peter Ogan, acting as the town's founder filed for recording the 'Original Plat of Manchester' on February 13, 1846.[citation needed] The community was named after Manchester, in England.
The North Manchester post office has been in operation since 1838.
In the early 20th century, automobiles were made here by the DeWitt Motor Company. On February 1, 1968, Martin Luther King Jr. gave a speech at Manchester College. This was the last time he spoke at a college campus, as he was assassinated eight weeks later. Robert F. Kennedy also visited Manchester College during his 1968 presidential campaign – he, too, would be assassinated a few weeks later. Other international visitors during that same decade include Duke Ellington, Buckminster Fuller, Ralph Nader, and Ramsey Lewis (whose concert was cut short by a bomb scare).
Thomas R. Marshall, who served as Governor of Indiana and as Vice President of the United States under President Woodrow Wilson, was born in North Manchester.
The Lentz House (Hotel Sheller), Manchester College Historic District, Thomas R. Marshall School, Noftzger-Adams House, North Manchester Covered Bridge, North Manchester Historic District, North Manchester Public Library, and Peabody Memorial Tower are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
