Mishawaka Mishawaka, the Princess City, lies nestled along the meandering path of the St. Joseph River. The city is named after Princess Mishawaka, daughter of Shawnee Chief Elkhart. The legend of her romance with white trapper Deadshot, and abduction by her jealous Indian suitor Grey Wolf, characterizes the mixture of romance and history still found in Mishawaka today. Population growth, business expansion and record-breaking new construction tell us that people want to live, work, raise their families and retire in Mishawaka. Community pride is an essential part of life in the Princess City. The quality of life that generates this community pride comes from many sources. 2000 Census results reported the official population of Mishawaka as 46,557, an increase of 9.27% over the 1990 population of 42,608. That growth pushed us ahead of Kokomo making us the 13th largest city in Indiana. In 2001, new construction reached $81.7 million-the second best year in the history of the city. Unlike many communities, Mishawaka has consistently grown in population, capital investment and assessed value for several years. But, construction and growth are not all that make a city great. Mishawaka is home to Bethel College, AM General's Hummer Plant, a beautiful system of parks and myriad cultural opportunities. We invite you to take a tour and please check back often!
