1.) Evansville, city, seat (1818) of Vanderburgh county, southwestern Indiana, U.S., port on the Ohio River (there bridged to Henderson, Kentucky), 171 miles (275 km) southwest of Indianapolis. It was founded by Hugh McGary, Jr., in 1812 and was named for Robert M. Evans, a member of the territorial legislature.
2.) To attract more people, McGary ultimately renamed his village "Evansville" in honor of Col. Robert M. Soon after Evansville incorporated in 1817 and became a county seat on January 7, 1818. The county was named for Henry Vanderburgh, a deceased chief judge of the Indiana territorial supreme court.
3). The city is home to public and private enterprise in many areas, as Evansville serves as the region's economic hub. Evansville is home to Tropicana Evansville, the state's first casino; Mesker Park Zoo and Botanic Garden, one of the state's oldest and largest zoos; and sports tourism industry.
4.) In the years the United States was at war, Evansville became a war production powerhouse. The Navy opened a shipyard here and built hundreds of Landing Ship Tanks, LSTs.
5.) The home used for outside shots of the Conner house in fictional Lanford, Ill., sits on the south side of this Ohio River city at 619 Runnymede Ave. The creator of the original Roseanne, TV producer Matt Williams, is an Evansville native. Fame from the show may have helped the home's value.

USS LST-325
610 NW Riverside DrThis home was used as the establishing shot in the opening sequence for the popular sitcom, Roseanne. While the interior of the home was a Hollywood set, the few seconds that featured this home’s porch during the opening credits still bring the show to mind. Roseanne’s hangout, the Lobo Lounge, is also in Evansville as are the Third & Delaware street sign and church used in the transition photos in the show.
