Muncie is a city in the U.S. state of Indiana and the seat of Delaware County. Located in East Central Indiana, the city is about northeast of Indianapolis.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Indianapolis, IN to Muncie, IN )〕 As of the 2010 Census, the city's population was 70,085. It is the principal city of the Muncie, Indiana metropolitan statistical area, which has a population of 117,671.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Delaware County QuickFacts )
Founded along the White River, Muncie was platted in 1827 as a trading post between the native Delaware and white settlers. The city was incorporated in 1865, flourishing as a manufacturing center after the Indiana Gas Boom of the 1880s. Today, Muncie is home to Ball State University and the birthplace of the comic strip ''Garfield''. Thanks to the sociological Middletown studies first conducted in the 1920s, Muncie is said to be one of the most studied U.S. cities of its size.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Center for Middletown Studies )
== History ==

The area was first settled in the 1770s by the Lenape people, who had been transported from their tribal lands in the Mid-Atlantic region (all of New Jersey plus southeastern New York, eastern Pennsylvania, and northern Delaware) to Ohio and eastern Indiana. They founded several towns along the White River including Munsee Town (according to historical map of "The Indians" by Clark Ray), near the site of present-day Muncie.
In 1818, the tribes were forced to cede this land to the federal government and move farther west. The area was opened to white settlers two years later.
The city of Muncie was incorporated in 1865. Contrary to popular legend, the city is not named after a mythological Chief Munsee; it was actually named after Munsee Town, the white settlers' name for the Indian village on the site, "Munsee" meaning a member of the Lenape people or one of their languages.
