The newly created state of Indiana elected its sole member of the U.S. House of Representatives in August 1816, in advance of statehood, to represent Indiana's at-large congressional district.
Democratic-Republican William Hendricks was elected with 80.2% of the vote over Allen Thom who received 19.7% of the vote.[1]
The state was admitted December 11, 1816 and the new member was admitted on that day to the 14th Congress which would end March 3, 1817.[2]
Hendricks was re-elected August 4, 1817 to the 15th Congress.
