Mishawaka: The Princess City Along the St. Joseph River
Mishawaka borders South Bend to the east along the St. Joseph River in St. Joseph County. The name is believed to derive from a Potawatomi word. The city incorporated in 1899 and developed its own industrial base separate from its larger neighbor.
The Dodge Manufacturing Corporation, which later became part of ABB, operated a large power transmission equipment plant in Mishawaka. Ball Band (later part of Uniroyal), which produced rubber footwear and eventually the Keds sneaker brand, was headquartered here from 1898 until the plant closed in 2001.
University Park Mall and other retail along Grape Road make Mishawaka a commercial center for the South Bend metro area. Bethel University, a small Christian institution, is located in the city. Mishawaka's population is approximately 48,300, and the city shares school boundaries, infrastructure, and labor markets with South Bend.
Central Park along the St. Joseph River has been redeveloped with walking trails, a whitewater feature, and event spaces. The park connects to the broader regional trail network that links Mishawaka to South Bend and communities east along the river corridor.
