Tippecanoe ( TIP-ə-kə-NOO) is an unincorporated community and census-designated place (CDP) in Tippecanoe Township, Marshall County, Indiana, United States.
History
Tippecanoe was settled beginning in 1882. The original town was located 1 mile to the north and was platted as "Tippecanoe Town" in 1850, named for the Tippecanoe River on its southern edge. The name "Tippecanoe" was derived from a Miami-Illinois word for buffalo fish, reconstructed as */kiteepihkwana/ or as kiteepihkwana siipiiwi. After the railroad was built 1 mile south, the town was relocated. The original Tippecanoe Town was renamed Old Tip Town.
Benack's Village was located 1.4 miles (2.3 km) east-northeast of Tippecanoe, across the Tippecanoe River in what is now Potawatomi Wildlife Park.
