From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Evansville-Henderson, IN-KY Metropolitan Statistical Area is the 140th largest Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) in the United States. The two primary cities are Evansville, Indiana and Henderson, Kentucky.
It was originally named the Evansville, IN Standard Metropolitan Area and was formed by the United States Census Bureau in 1950, consisting solely of Vanderburgh County, Indiana. As surrounding counties saw an increase in their population densities and the number of residents employed within Vanderburgh County, they met Census criteria to be added to the MSA. Four Indiana counties and two Kentucky counties are now a part of this MSA.
Because it includes counties in both Indiana and Kentucky, the Evansville metropolitan area is sometimes referred to as Kentuckiana but most often called the Tri-State, because of Illinois's proximity to the area.
