French-Lick
is a town located in southern Indiana in Orange County. As of the 2000 census, the population was 1,941. In 2006, the state's tenth (modern legalized) casino opened in the town of French Lick. Originally, the town was a French trading post built near a spring and salt lick. The sulfur springs were commercially exploited starting around 1840 and French Lick became famous as a spa town. In the early 20th century, it also featured casinos and attracted celebrities like boxer Joe Louis, composer Irving Berlin and gangster Al Capone. Today, the resort, spa and casino at French Lick is one of the Midwest's premier destinations. It offers two world class hotels set in the lush, natural beauty of the Hoosier National Forest.
