1900s
- 1900–1945The long rural hold
The twentieth century arrived late on Harris Prairie: in 1900 Harris Township held 481 people, including the town of Granger — the whole township, village and farms together, fewer people than one modern subdivision street.
- 1903–2026The club movement and the ballot's institutions: the League, the YWCA, and the clubs this ground actually kept
The YWCA as a working women's institution: The YWCA North Central Indiana has served from South Bend since 1903 — housed in this period at 1102 South Fellows Street…
- 1904–1907Founded here: the Order of the Owls, and a second home office — both the county's, neither this ground's
An order founded in South Bend, at an address: on 20 November 1904, in the law offices of Talbot and Talbot in South Bend, John W. Talbot founded the Order of Owls with Joseph E. Talbot, George D. Beroth, J. Lott Losey, John J. Johnson, John D. Burke, William Weaver and Frank Dunbar.

St. Vincent de Paul: the county society and the parish-conference question: The Society of St. Vincent de Paul of St. Joseph County was founded in 1904 by thirty members of St. Patrick's Parish, South Bend — the county's Vincentian century running parallel to the diocese's…

Ring Lardner (born March 6, 1885, in Niles, Michigan) began as a newspaperman at the South Bend Times in the fall of 1905 — hired, by the Indiana Journalism Hall of Fame's account, when the editor came looking for his brother Rex and took Ring instead…
- 1905–todayThe poetry line as a succession — across the line, and the one judge-poet
On this ground itself, the poetry line is thinner and older, and it is not empty: its first name is the judge-historian of the article above, Timothy Edward Howard, whose Musings and Memories (1905) is a published volume of verse by the man who wrote the county's history.
- 1907The census of 1907: Howard counts the county's clubs — and seats none of them here
The dated census, from the named source: Timothy Edward Howard's A History of St. Joseph County, Indiana (1907) closes its first volume's account of the county's institutions with a societies chapter that is, in effect, a club census taken in a single year — and because it is a census it can be counted from.
- 1907The Red Men: the tribe by number, the borrowed names stated plainly, the wigwam unnamed
Mishawaka Tribe No. 304, Improved Order of Red Men, stands in Howard's 1907 Mishawaka list with its officers named: John C. Quick, sachem; George Hitesman, secretary.
- 1907–2026The roster: this ground's clubs, assembled in one place at last

In 1905 the commissioners bought the 113.8-acre Brown farm on Portage Avenue, beyond Riverview Cemetery, for 20,962.50 dollars, and built the St. Joseph County Infirmary to designs by the South Bend architects Freyermuth and Maurer…
- 1909The official count that names the trade — the census sentence, and why it cannot be quoted for this ground
The checklist's opening pattern asks for one official sentence: the census or census-of-manufactures count that names a city's clothing trades at a date, the way the floor instance opens from the 1909 volume.
- 1909Away to Camp, and the Children's Room
The South Bend YMCA started the camp in the season of 1909 , after Harris Eberhart — a young camper of the South Bend Y — was killed on July 24, 1909, when the car he rode in stalled on railroad tracks at Munster, Indiana…
- 1909–2018Every early house, with its capacity — and the Grape Road house identified

- 1909–2026The YMCA and the YWCA: no branch on this ground — the county's Y at the boundary, its camp named, and the YWCA across the same line
