History
Angola was founded in 1838 as the seat of Steuben County; the Angola post office has been in operation since the same year. Angola was officially incorporated as a town on October 1, 1866, and became a city in 1906.
Some of the first settlers came from Angola, New York, and they named their new home after their old one.
The Angola Commercial Historic District, Steuben County Courthouse, and Steuben County Jail are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Newell LeRoy Sims, a professional sociologist who lived for years in Angola published an in-depth study of the town in 1912 as his PhD dissertation at Columbia University in New York. He used the name "Aton" for the village. A Hoosier village: a sociological study with special reference to social causation (1912) is available online.
