The South Bend site was a Miami Indian village when French Explorer La Salle arrived in 1681. A settlement was established on the river following a treaty negotiated with the Miami and Illinois Indians. In 1823 a trading post was built on the site by Alexis Coquillard. By 1830, when the site had a population of 128, it was named South Bend by the Post Office Department. Five years later the town was laid out, and in 1865 it was incorporated as a city. The University of Notre Dame was founded in 1842 as a mission to the Potawatomi Indians and as a center of education. In the first half of the 20th century, a South Bend company founded by the Studebaker brothers to manufacture wagons and carriages emerged as one of the nation's leading producers of automobiles.
