Châteauroux, the capital of the department, is a historic town. It was originally called "Château Raoul", the present day château which now houses the préfecture being built on the site of a castle constructed in the tenth century by Raoul le Large, lord of [[Déols]]. In 1188 the castle was held by Philippe Auguste who was concerned in protecting the drapery business centred in the town and along the banks of the River Indre from fraud. From 1612 to 1736 it was a duchy of the [[Princes of Condé|House of Condé]] and from 1742 to 1744 was under the control of the Marquise de la Tournelle.<ref name=Scholastic>{{cite book|author=Scholastic Library Publishing|title=Encyclopedia Americana: Cathedrals to Civil War|url=https://archive.org/details/encyclopediaamer20scho |url-access=registration|year=2005 |publisher=Scholastic Library Pub. |page=[https://archive.org/details/encyclopediaamer20scho/page/334 334] |isbn=978-0-7172-0138-9}}</ref>
