Historical diversity of population
In the mid-nineteenth century, a great number of German and Irish immigrants came to Indiana State to get works. By digging the Wabash and Erie canals immigrants could engage its projects and got money. Also, the success of construction of these canals contributed to more construction of canals, highway, railroad which smoothed the movement of more immigrants like New England, German, Ilish from the eastern state such as New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Virginia. This infusion of immigrants is due to diversity of population Terre Haute in Indiana State.
