Noble County, Indiana
Noble County is in the northeastern part of the state, a place where Amish buggies rule the road. Another piece of local history is the Gene Stratton-Porter State Historic Site, which honors the famous Indiana author.
Kendallville is the largest city in Noble County, but Albion, the county seat, is the heart of local government. It’s also located near the center of the county.
The county has plenty of lakes, making it a popular destination for fishing and boating. Chain O’Lakes State Park, for example, is a big draw for nature lovers. All I can say is, Noble County is pure northern Indiana.
