History

the text in this section is copied from an article in Wikipedia

Howe was settled in 1834. At that time, it was named "Mongoquinong", a name that the Potawatomi people had given to the prairie in northeastern Indiana. Shortly thereafter it was renamed "Lima" and was, at that time, the county seat. It was later renamed "Howe" after John B. Howe, a local attorney.

The Howe Military School, the town's most famous attraction, was founded in 1884.
