Pulaski County was formally organized on May 6, 1838. A group of men met at a log cabin and designated "Winnemack" as the "Seat of Justice." They received donations of land for a public square, a public seminary and a graveyard. Winamac was named after an 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. Located in the northwest corner of Indiana, Pulaski County is a rectangle, 18 miles north and south and 24 miles east and west. The county is generally level, except in areas along the Tippecanoe River. The river runs from the northeast corner of the county to the southwest corner.
