Serving With Pride

The City of Wabash is an affordable, vibrant, and safe community "located in the middle of nowhere, in the middle of everything"! 

An hour and thirty minutes from Indianapolis, South Bend and forty-five minutes from Fort Wayne. Wabash leads by example in the Northeast Indiana

Region and the State of Indiana with innovative thinking and actions. 

We offer recreational, arts and culture, and destination attractions throughout our City and County including canoeing, kayaking, camping, concerts, the

best County Historical Museum in the State, and innumerable outdoor options. Unique boutique shopping and restaurants abound in Wabash, spend a day, 

weekend, or week partaking in a welcoming community to get away from it all. 

It is a blessing for me to lead a city where friendliness and collaboration lead the way! Pay us a visit and you might want to move here permanently. 

We look forward to seeing you soon! 

Sincerely,

Scott A. Long
Mayor

2. Acts as a resource to building owners who want to make improvements to their buildings.
3. Creates local historic districts with design guidelines to preserve the historic character of our downtown and residential areas. 

When our historic buildings were built, basic design principles, such as texture, color, rhythm, and pattern, were used to make our commercial areas and residential neighborhoods a cohesive, yet unique, place to live, work and play.
