“Hoosier State” came into general usage in the 1830s.
John Finley of Richmond wrote a poem, "The Hoosier's Nest," which
was used as the "Carrier's Address" of the Indianapolis Journal,
Jan. 1, 1833. It was widely copied throughout the country and even
abroad. A few days later, on January 8, 1833, at the Jackson Day dinner
at Indianapolis, John W. Davis offered "The Hoosier State of Indiana" as
a toast. And in August, former Indiana governor James B. Ray announced
that he intended to publish a newspaper, The Hoosier, at Greencastle,
Indiana.
