<p dir="ltr">For a deep dive into the histories of <strong><a href="https://geistmarina.com/">Geist Reservoir</a></strong> and <strong><a href= "https://morsemarina.com/">Morse Reservoir</a></strong>, which supply much of the water for residents of the greater Indianapolis area, <strong><a href= "https://www.facebook.com/www.hoosierhistorylive.org/">Hoosier History Live</a></strong> will plunge into several questions. Were you aware that a historic village called <a href= "https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/indiana/germantown-in/"><strong>Germantown</strong></a>, which was founded during the 1830s and flourished for more than 100 years, was subsumed to create Geist?</p> <p dir="ltr">Do some of Germantown's structures, which included houses, a post office and a mill, remain underwater in the reservoir located in northeastern Marion County and southern Hamilton County? Geist Reservoir was created in the 1940s, although the Indianapolis Water Company began a push to develop it more than 20 years earlier.</p> <p dir="ltr">Construction of Morse Reservoir, which is located northwest of <a href= "https://www.cityofnoblesville.org/"><strong>Noblesville</strong></a> and south of <a href= "https://www.ciceroin.org/"><strong>Cicero</strong></a> in <strong><a href="https://www.visithamiltoncounty.com/?gclid=CjwKCAjwgr6TBhAGEiwA3aVuIYaPEQ2hT-kjF6TG-GQqBiXYbY0E3TecuAg2fw8Fn4MqWwA0mwsDyBoCMiYQAvD_BwE">Hamilton County</a></strong>, began later, in the 1950s. Both reservoirs were named in honor of executives of the water company, now part of <strong><a href= "https://www.citizensenergygroup.com/">Citizens Energy Group</a></strong>. Beginning in the early 1960s, a crusade to build luxury homes around Geist came to public attention and was quickly controversial.</p>
