Bloomington is approximately 50 miles from Indianapolis and is within 100 miles of both Cincinnati, Ohio and Louisville, Kentucky.

In more recent times, the city has been designated as “Tree City USA”.

Following the birth of the city in 1818, residents would make a living by farming, timber extraction, and limestone extraction. The limestone industry would ultimately have the greatest impact on Bloomington. Limestone is known as the nation’s building stone because of the large amount of state and local capital buildings that have been constructed using limestone from south central Indiana. The construction of the railroad systems within Bloomington in 1853 made it a lot easier for the transportation of limestone. Its industry would continue to grow throughout the 1900’s until the Great Depression.

Today, the city is now known to be the home of Indiana University. The university makes up for 35,000 people out of the total population of 82,575. The university was founded in 1820 and is one of the oldest and largest state universities in America. The limestone produced in Bloomington is what most of the Indiana’s University buildings are built out of.  IU has greatly benefited the community by providing major college sports, entertainment, and cultural activities to Bloomington and Monroe County. Students choose Indiana University for its outstanding research resources, facilities and academic programs, which 110 of the program are ranked in the top 20 nationally. Walking around the campus, it is not hard to see why it was named one of the five most beautiful campuses in the nation by Thomas A Gaines in his book, The Campus as a Work of Art.
