Original Date	1813
Title	1813 State Capital Act
Full Title	An Act to remove the Seat of Government from the town of Vincennes to the town of Corydon, in the county of Harrison
Description	After Illinois was cut off from Indiana Territory in 1809 Vincennes ceased to be central in relation to the area it served as a capital. Lawrenceburg, Vevay, Madison, Corydon, Salem, and Jeffersonville sought the honor. No action was taken while Harrison was Governor since he preferred Vincennes. In 1813, with John Gibson as acting Governor, the Assembly took up the matter. The House of Representatives favored Madison but the Council would not agree and Corydon was chosen in conference. The act which was dated March 11, 1813, was to be effective by May 1, 1813. 1 1 Louis B. Ewbank and Dorothy L.
