Why was the Indiana state capitol moved from Vincennes to Corydon?

It wasn't. The capital of Indiana Territory (before Indiana became a state) was at Vincennes 1800-1813. The territorial capital was moved to Corydon in 1813 (and Corydon became the State's first capital in 1816). The Indiana State Museum attributes the move to politics: "In 1813, the territory capital was moved to Corydon along the Ohio River. The move was a master political strategy devised by Jonathan Jennings. Jennings was the territorial delegate to Congress and a bitter political foe of Harrison. Jennings later became the first governor of the state of Indiana. "
