Parke County has preserved most of its covered bridges, many dating to the 1800s, and has more of them than any other county in the nation. Early community life centered on mills established along Sugar Creek, Big Raccoon Creek, and their branches. The Wabash and Erie Canal extended into the county in the 1840s.
