Evansville is a city in southwestern Indiana, located to the north of the Ohio River, west of Louisville, KY, and southwest of Indianapolis. Evansville is home to one of the most impressive collections of Native American mounds: the Angel Mounds State Historic Site, which contains 12 of them.
The city is also home to the USS LST-325 museum ship, one of the few remaining examples of the Landing Ship, Tank class of warship. Another thing that makes Evansville worth living in is the city’s abundance of small businesses of many different varieties, though they may sometimes struggle to draw in new customers.
One of the best ways for businesses to attract customers is by marketing themselves, and lead generation is a crucial part of small business marketing. We run a performance lead generation service that is designed to ensure that you only pay for the authentic lead.
This means that you can expect to save money on your marketing efforts, as the approach we take is 100% results-oriented, instead of being based on sheer numbers.

Population
Before European settlers arrived on the land, Evansville was inhabited by the Delaware tribe of Native Americans. After this land was ceded to settlers, Hugh McGary Jr. founded the town as McGary’s Landing in 1812, renaming it to Evansville in 1814.
A few short years later, Evansville was incorporated in 1817 and was named the county seat just one year later.
