history

South Bend was originally laid out in 1831 as the seat of the county government. At that time about 130 people lived in this area, mainly fur traders, traders and innkeepers.

On October 4, 1851, the first steam locomotive reached South Bend and neighboring Mishawaka . In 1882, the South Bend Street Railway Company made the world's first attempt at an electric tram, which from the fall of 1882 connected the two neighboring cities of Mishawaka and South Bend.

These traffic connections and industrial developments meant that the Studebaker brothers set up business in South Bend and later founded the Studebaker vehicle operations here . Their influence on the history of South Bend was significant, so the 1963 factories shutdown caused serious economic difficulties for the city.

A relatively large number of emigrants who settled in the city between the First and Second World War came from the Croatian Minihof in Austria , where the street "Sotbend" was named after South Bend.
