DePuy, the world's first orthopedic-device company, was founded in Warsaw in 1895. Zimmer Biomet, headquartered in the city today, anchors a real cluster housing nearly one-third of the entire $38 billion global orthopedic industry.
A real, distinct lakes-region identity
Kosciusko County holds more than 100 lakes, including Lake Wawasee (Indiana's largest natural lake) and Lake Tippecanoe (Indiana's deepest, at 123 feet) -- a real, long-documented summer-vacation and lakefront-retirement draw.
Adjacent Winona Lake and Grace College
Winona Lake, directly adjacent to Warsaw, hosts Grace College, a private Christian liberal-arts college, and carries a materially higher median household income than Warsaw proper.
