Am informational bulletin at Island Park explains how Elkhart Indiana got its name. It was called An-na-wa-wah by the Potawatomi. This means Elk's heart. It seems the Native American people thought the shape of the island resembled and elk's heart. My vote is they should have stuck with the Native American name.
