As of 2010, the population was 23,363.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Starke County QuickFacts )〕 The county seat is Knox.〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=2011-06-07 )〕 ==History== Starke County was created in 1835 and organized in 1850.〔Starke county historical society, General Information. Retrieved 1-1-2010 http://www.starkehistory.com/index_files/Page832.htm〕 It was named for Gen. John Stark, who commanded New Hampshire troops at the Battle of Bunker Hill in 1775 in the Revolutionary War and defeated the British at the Battle of Bennington in 1777. Before white settlement, all of the land that forms modern-day Starke County and adjacent LaPorte County to the north belonged to the Potawatami Indian nation. These Indians were forcibly removed to Kansas by the United States government in 1838, and many died on what has been called the Trail of Death.〔(【引用サイトリンク】format=PDF )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=History of 1838 Trail of Death )〕 When Starke County was created, it included the area of land that today comprises the LaPorte County townships of Cass, Dewey, Hanna, and Prairie. It was necessary for residents in this area to travel some distance east to Lemon's Bridge to cross the Kankakee River in order to travel south to the center of the county, the future site of the county seat at Knox. Therefore, because they were effectively isolated from the rest of Starke county, residents north of the river petitioned to be annexed to LaPorte county and this was done on January 28, 1842.〔(Brief history of LaPorte county )〕 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「Starke County, Indiana」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
