It's first recorded use was in 1827 in a note written in a report in which a government recorder wrote "work was done by a Hoosier".
The most widely accepted origin belief comes from an Anglo/Saxon term 'Hooz" for hills. And "Hoozers" was an old English word describing something that is big or tall like a hill.
Southern Indiana is known for it's very hilly landscape... Hoosiers are "people living in hills".
