Indianapolis was chosen to be the state capital of Indiana in 1820. The automobile industry helped the city prosper in the early 1900s and the city later became famous for the car races that take place every year at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Four interstate roads meet in the city, making it "The Crossroads of America." People come from all over to conduct business or enjoy the recreational activities the area has to offer. There are several hotels to service visitors and some have indoor pools where one can relax after a day of work or play.
