Indiana County is a county located in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania. In 2010, its population was 88,880. Indiana County was created on March 30, 1803, from parts of Westmoreland and Clearfield Counties, and is probably named for the Indiana Territory. Its county seat is Indiana. The county proclaims itself the "Christmas Tree Capital of the World", shipping over one million trees annually. The county is entirely in the defined region of the Pittsburgh media market.
In 2012, Indiana County will have an unusual distinction of being served by three different area codes. Currently served by area code 724 and area code 814, the pending split of 814 to form area code 582 will give Indiana County three area codes.
