So let's find out "Why is Evansville is called the pocket city?"

This is what we found via Wikipedia:

"Indiana Magazine of History, Volume 8, page 79. "Evansville is the 'Crescent City' from its location on the outer side of a curve on the Ohio River; the 'Pocket City' from its location in and as the metropolis of that part of the State popularly designated at 'The Pocket.'"

Now you know! Now try it for where you are!
