1963–2021 AND NOVEMBER 2026 · ST. JOSEPH COUNTY AND OSCEOLA
The state's marking, counted: the Indiana Historical Bureau's marker list for St. Joseph County carries 23 markers, placed from 1963 to 2021 — the county figure in the statewide tally of March 2024 as well. The list was read whole for this article, and where the 23 stand is part of the count: they stand in South Bend and Mishawaka — Camp Rose (1963), the Sisters of the Holy Cross Civil War Nurses (1965), the Indiana Territorial Line (1966), Mishawaka's First Dam, First Bridge and St. Joseph Iron Works (all 1968), Mishawaka High School (1976), the Normain Heights Subdivision marker (71.1997.1) and Battell Park (71.1997.2), the Better Homes of South Bend marker (71.2017.2), the J. Chester and Elizabeth Allen marker at 115 South Lafayette Boulevard (71.2020.2, 2020), and their fellows — and none of the 23 stands in Osceola or in Penn Township. The nearest marking of township-adjacent ground is the Huggart Settlement's marker on Pierce Road (State Road 4) at Mulberry Road — in Union Township, on the county's Black settlement ground (told in art-68-1). The town's own marking, counted the other way, is a zero with its evidence shown: no marker programme of the town, no municipal marker and no landmark tour of Osceola appears in the town's record or in the programme records reached — the landmark tour this county does have is the IUSB African American Landmark Tour, a South Bend tour, carried in the Black History addendum. A town that has never marked anything is printed as a town that has never marked anything.
