History
Before 1917, SR 15 was known as the Hoosier Dixie. When Indiana began using road numbers in 1917, SR 15 was known as Indiana State Road 27. From 1917 to 1926, Indiana State Road 15 was a route that went from Indianapolis, Indiana to Michigan, following today's routes of U.S. Route 421, State Road 29, and U.S. Route 35. In 1926, when the Indiana changed the numbering system, the route became SR 15. In the 1940s there was a southern section of SR 15 that passed began in Fortville and heading north to Perkinsville, following the route that State Road 13 now takes.
The cities of Goshen, Warsaw, Marion and Wabash are well known for their historical buildings and small town charm. Many of these buildings are located on SR 15.
