Hobart Indiana - Population: 25,363
Hobart was named by founder George Earle in honor of his brother, Frederick Hobart Earle.
After purchasing land from the Potowatomi Indians, Earle founded the city in 1846 and built the city's first business: a grist mill.
Hobart was home to numerous brickyards in the nineteenth century, including the W.B. Owen Terra Cotta Works, the Natco yards, and the Kulage Brick Works. This provided Hobart High School with its unique nickname for its athletic teams: the Brickies. Under head coach Don Howell, the Hobart Brickies won the Indiana state championship for football in 1987, 1989, 1991, and 1993. Hobart's brickyard was built in the area which is known as Lake Park Avenue today. When the brickyard was still in business, bricks would be transported to other areas via trains on the former Pennsylvania Railroad (The former Pennsylvania Railroad is now known as the CF&E Railroad) mostly to Valparaiso and Chicago.
