NAPPANEE

city, Elkhart county, northern Indiana, U.S., 21 miles (34 km) southeast of South Bend. Founded in 1874, it adopted an Algonquian Indian name (probably meaning flour) and developed along the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad. There is a large concentration of Amish farmers in the vicinity, and their horse-drawn buggies are a familiar sight around the public square; nearby Amish Acres is a working farmstead open to the public. The city's economy centres on the agricultural markets (mint, onions, grain); manufactures include furniture, mobile homes, electronic and steel products. Inc. 1926. Pop. (1990) 5,510.
