Wabash
Indiana state river
Wabash is a river flowing through Indiana and along the Indiana-Illinois border, notable in American geography and folklore.
It appears in the state song of Indiana, "On the Banks of the Wabash, Far Away." The name derives from a Miami-Illinois word meaning "it shines white" or "pure white," referring to the river's limestone bed.
Wabash also names several towns and counties in the Midwest.
