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/ [4] or as kiteepihkwana siipiiwi. [5] After the railroad was built 1 mile south, the town was relocated. The original Tippecanoe Town was renamed Old Tip Town. [6]

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.
