Winona Lake, Indiana
Winona Lake is a town in Wayne Township, Kosciusko County, in the U.S. state of Indiana, and is a major suburb of Warsaw. As of the 2020 census, Winona Lake had a population of 5,053.
Winona Lake is now contiguous to Warsaw, the two towns having merged as they have expanded.
According to the 2010 census, Winona Lake has a total area of 3.25 square miles (8.42 km2), of which 0.49 sq mi (1.27 km2) (or 15.08%) is covered by water.
Winona Lake is best known for the lake after which it is named and built on, although the lake was originally known as Eagle Lake. Located along the eastern shore of the lake, the Winona Lake Historic District includes various historic homes and other buildings that attest to the area's history as a Chautauqua and Bible conference hotspot. It is also the home of Grace College and Grace Theological Seminary, and was the home of famed preacher and professional baseball player Billy Sunday, who died in 1935. The Billy Sunday Home has been preserved as a museum. Christian musician and preacher Homer Rodeheaver also made Winona Lake his home from 1912 until his death in 1955. The Winona School of Professional Photography was started there in 1912 (as the Indiana School of Photography) and was operated by the Professional Photographers of America until its move to Chicago (Mount Prospect) in 1988. Famous photographers from around the world taught there during summer-only classes. The now defunct Winona College was founded here, and the Winona Lake School of Theology was located here from 1920 to 1970. Winona Lake was also home to the headquarters of The Free Methodist Church until it moved its offices to Indianapolis in 1990. Winona Lake also contained Hephzibah House, a behavioral modification school, often criticized for their physical, sexual, and mental abuse of underage girls. Despite numerous complaints filed, local law enforcement never went after the school and it was shut down in March 2020 after an episode of Dr. Phil exposed the school.
The Winona Lake Historic District was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.
As of the 2020 census, Winona Lake had a population of 5,053. The median age was 28.6 years. 19.7% of residents were under the age of 18 and 15.3% of residents were 65 years of age or older. For every 100 females there were 86.8 males, and for every 100 females age 18 and over there were 83.7 males age 18 and over.
100.0% of residents lived in urban areas, while 0.0% lived in rural areas.
