Kokomo, Indiana<\/h3>
Kokomo \/\u02c8ko\u028ak\u0259mo\u028a\/ is a city in and the county seat of Howard County, Indiana, United States.[5] Kokomo is Indiana's 13th-largest city. It is the principal city of the Kokomo, Indiana Metropolitan Statistical Area, which includes all of Howard County. Kokomo's population was 46,113 at the 2000 census, and 45,468 at the 2010 census.[6] On January 1, 2012, Kokomo successfully annexed more than 7 square miles (18\u00a0km2) on the south and west sides of the city, including Alto and Indian Heights, increasing the city's population to nearly 57,000 people.[7]<\/p>
Named for the Miami Ma-Ko-Ko-Mo who was called \"Chief Kokomo\",[8] Kokomo first benefited from the legal business associated with being the county seat. Before the Civil War, it was connected with Indianapolis and then the Eastern cities by railroad, which resulted in sustained growth. Substantial growth came after the discovery of large natural gas reserves, which produced a boom in the mid-1880s. Among the businesses which the boom attracted was the fledgling automobile industry. A significant number of technical and engineering innovations were developed in Kokomo, particularly in automobile production, and, as a result, Kokomo became known as the \"City of Firsts.\" A substantial portion of Kokomo's employment still depends on the automobile industry.\n<\/p>
The settler tradition says Kokomo was named for Kokomoko or Ma-Ko-Ko-Mo (meaning \"black walnut\"), shortened to Kokomo, said to have been one of the four sons of Chief Richardville last of the chiefs of the Miami people.[10][11] Folklore holds that he was 7 feet (2.1\u00a0m) tall and falsely gives him the title of \"chief.\"[11] David Foster, known as the \"Father of Kokomo,\" claimed that he named the town Kokomo after the \"ornriest Indian on earth\" because Kokomo was \"the ornriest town on earth.\"[11][12] Kokomo is thought to have been born in 1775 and died in 1838.[13] The only documentary proof of his existence is a trading post record of a purchase of a barrel of flour for $12 for his \"squaw.\"[11] His remains (with those of others) were reportedly discovered during the construction of a saw mill in 1848 and re-interred in the \"north-east corner\" of the Pioneer Cemetery.[12] The tradition of the Peru Miami is that the town was named after a Thorntown Miami named Ko-kah-mah, whose name is rendered Co-come-wah in the Treaty at the Forks of the Wabash in 1834. That name was translated as \"the diver\" (an animal that could swim under water).[14]<\/p><\/div>\n
