The Evansville metropolitan area is the

Illinois–Indiana–Kentucky Tri-State Area

.

History

It was originally designated the Evansville, Indiana, standard metropolitan area and was formed by the United States Census Bureau in 1950, consisting solely of Vanderburgh County, Indiana. As surrounding counties saw an increase in their population densities and the number of residents employed within Vanderburgh County, they met Census criteria to be added to the MSA. Four Indiana counties and two Kentucky counties are now a part of this MSA.

Because it includes counties in both Indiana and Kentucky, the Evansville metropolitan area is sometimes referred to as "

Posey County less than 20 miles west of Evansville and to distinguish it from the Louisville metropolitan area
