As of 2010, the population was 164,343.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Porter County QuickFacts )〕 The county seat is Valparaiso.〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=2011-06-07 )〕 This county is part of Northwest Indiana as well as the Chicago metropolitan area. Porter County is the site of the Indiana Dunes, an area of ecological significance.〔Smith, S. & Mark, S. (2006). Alice Gray, Dorothy Buell, and Naomi Svihla: Preservationists of Ogden Dunes.

Hough; University of Illinois Press, Urbana, 1958; p 276〕 The Huber-Berrien people were a subsistence society. The native people of this area were next recorded during the Iroquois Wars (1641–1701) as being Potawatomi and Miami. The trading post system used by the French and then the English encouraged native people to live in central villages along major waterways. Therefore, there are no recorded villages within the current boundaries of Porter County. It was not until 1830 when Chiqua's town and Tassinong appear on maps and in records.〔 Chiqua's town is located a mile east of Valparaiso on State Route 2,the old Sauk Trail. Tassinong is south of Valparaiso about on State Route 49 at Baum's Bridge Road, the main route across the Great Kankakee Marsh.〔One of the Earliest Authentic Histories of Porter County, Indiana; From 1832 to 1876; Deborah H. Shults-Gay; circa 1917〕 Porter County was formed in 1836. From 1832 to 1836, the area that was to become Porter County was part of La Porte County.〔Calumet Beginnings: Schoon, Kenneth J.〕 It was named for Capt. David Porter, naval officer during the Barbary Wars and the War of 1812. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Porter County, Indiana」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
