is a city in Logan Township, Fountain County, Indiana, United States. The population was 3,491 at the 2000 census.
Attica was laid out by George Hollingsworth and platted by David Stump on March 19, 1825. The completion of the Wabash and Erie Canal through the town in 1847 brought a considerable amount of growth to the area, and ended (in Attica's favor) a long-standing rivalry with the neighboring communities of Rob Roy and Williamsport.
Attica is the nearest town to the location where Paul Dresser is believed to have written the state song, "On the Banks of the Wabash, Far Away", and the bridge over the Wabash River bears his name.
The Attica Boys Basketball team won the State Basketball Championship in Class A in 2001.
They were also state runner up in football in class A in 2001. The Attica baseball team was ranked 9th in the state in 2007 and are currently ranked 8th. The Varsity girls basketball has won 3 consecutive sectional titles, and 1 regional title over the past 3 years.
