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.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“They are a sort of post-house,where the Fates
Change horses, making history change its tune,
Then spur away o’er empires and o’er states,
Leaving at last not much besides chronology,
Excepting the post-obits of theology.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“The true theater of history is therefore the temperate zone.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
“America is the only nation in history which, miraculously, has gone directly from barbarism to degeneration without the usual interval of civilization.”
—Attributed to Georges Clemenceau (1841–1929)
