Peru, Indiana, was named after the city of Peru in South America. The name was suggested by a local landowner, who was inspired by the South American city’s name and its exotic connotations. The town was established in the early 1830s and incorporated in 1834, reflecting the trend of naming places in the United States after foreign locations.
