Understand
Connersville is like the American industrial Rust Belt darling that imploded, not to say that it was the only one. From its origins as a fur trading post belonging to John Conner and platted in 1813, it grew up to be this unlikely industrial giant, with operations varying from air turbines to furniture and buggies. When the automobile age arrived, it became known as "Little Detroit" for all the inputs it had on automobile manufacturing there, including as a provider of components for major auto production centers nearby.
