Fishers is a city in Hamilton County, Indiana, a northeastern suburb of Indianapolis located along Interstate 69 in Fall Creek and Delaware townships.

Conner Prairie, the living history museum built around William Conner's farm, is a Smithsonian Affiliate covering more than 1,000 acres, with areas like 1836 Prairietown and the 1859 Balloon Voyage, and it hosts the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra's Symphony on the Prairie summer concerts.

Census Bureau figures put Fishers at roughly 37,305 households, and its median household income of about $130,203 is among the highest of any large city in Indiana.

Fishers voters approved a 2012 referendum to convert the town into a city, and Fishers officially became a city in 2015 with its first elected mayor.

Downtown Fishers is built around the Nickel Plate District, a state-designated cultural district with an amphitheater, the Nickel Plate Trail, and a growing dining and entertainment core.

The city's eastern side fronts Geist Reservoir, an approximately 1,800-acre drinking-water reservoir built in 1943 that is now a centerpiece for boating, fishing, and waterfront neighborhoods, including the public Geist Waterfront Park.

Fishers is served by Hamilton Southeastern Schools, one of Indiana's largest and highest-regarded school districts, anchored by Hamilton Southeastern High School and Fishers High School.
