Tickets for Muncie

Best known as the home of Ball State University and the birthplace of the Ball Corporation, Muncie is a city in Delaware County in east central Indiana. It is the principal city of the Muncie, Indiana Metropolitan Statistical Area.

The Delaware Indians, who had been transported from their tribal lands near the east coast to Ohio and eastern Indiana, first settled the area in the 1770s. They founded several towns along the White River including Muncie town, near Muncie. The tribes were forced to give up their land to the federal government and move further west in 1818, and in 1820 the area was opened to white settlers. The city of Muncie was incorporated in 1865. Contrary to popular legend, the city is not named after a mythological Chief Munsee; rather it was named after Munsee Town, the white settlers' name for the Indian village on the site.
