History
Attica was laid out by George Hollingsworth and platted by David Stump in 1825. The completion of the Wabash and Erie Canal through the town in 1847 brought a considerable amount of growth to the area, and ended (in Attica’s favor) a long-standing rivalry with the neighboring communities of Rob Roy, Williamsport and Covington.
Attica is the nearest town to the location where Paul Dresser is believed to have written the state song, “On the Banks of the Wabash, Far Away”, and the bridge over the Wabash River bears his name.
The Attica Downtown Historic District, Attica Main Street Historic District, Brady Street Historic District, Marshall M. Milford House, and Old East Historic District are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
