Pulaski County was formally organized May 6, 1839, when a group of men met at a log cabin and designated “Winnemack” as the “Seat of Justice,” and received donations of land for a public square, a public seminary and a graveyard. Winamac was named after a Potawatomi Indian Chief who lived in the area in the early 1800′s. The county was named after General Casimir Pulaski, a Polish-born soldier in the American Revolution.
The county’s first election was held May 13, 1839. In addition to being the county seat, Winamac was the location of a government land office from 1839 to 1857.

The Historical Society exists to preserve the history of the region, from 1839 to the present, and to promote its future.
