Central Indiana CollageFrom the international city of Indianapolis and its major attractions to the small-town, Rockwellesque charm of downtown Zionsville, life in Central Indiana can take on a dramatically different flare, depending on where you happen to find yourself at any particular time. Central Indiana is anchored by the capital city of Indianapolis, which occupies a vast majority of Marion County.  While it is comprised of some 20 counties, a smaller group of 9 counties, including Boone, Hamilton, Hancock, Hendricks, Johnson, Madison, Marion, Morgan and Shelby make up the “core” of Central Indiana.
