Wm H Roberts & Sons Dairy Milk Bottle Cap Indianapolis Indiana IN IND Unused

Description

ORIGINAL UNUSED
Standard size milk bottle cap from Wm. H. Roberts and Sons Inc. Dairy, Indianapolis, Indiana.  Indianapolis is located in Marion county.   Indy had about 370,000 residents in the 30’s and 40’s.
The name Indianapolis is derived from the state's name, Indiana (meaning "Land of the Indians", or simply "Indian Land"
), and
polis
, the
Greek
word for "city."
Jeremiah Sullivan
, justice of the
Indiana Supreme Court
, is credited with coining the name.
Other names considered were Concord, Suwarrow, and
Tecumseh
.
In 1816, the year Indiana gained statehood, the
U.S. Congress
donated four sections of federal land to establish a permanent seat of state government.
Two years later, under the
Treaty of St. Mary's
(1818), the
Delaware
relinquished title to their tribal lands in central Indiana, agreeing to leave the area by 1821.
This tract of land, which was called the
New Purchase
, included the site selected for the new state capital in 1820.
The indigenous people of the land prior to
systematic removal
are the
Miami Nation of Indiana
(
Miami Nation of Oklahoma
) and Indianapolis makes up part of Cession 99; the primary treaty between the indigenous population and the United States was the
Treaty of St. Mary's (1818)
.
This cap was for the bottling of delicious Pasteurized Skimmed Milk.
