Noblesville, established in 1818 after land acquisition from Native Americans, now hosts over 75,000 residents. Its downtown, shaped by William Conner and Josiah Polk in 1823, became the county seat a year later. Conner's former home, now part of Conner Prairie in Fishers, adds to the city's historic allure. Notably, the Noblesville Milling Company's support led to the high school sports team adopting the moniker "Millers".
Presently, Noblesville is bustling with projects aimed at enhancing various aspects of city life. The Reimagine Pleasant Street initiative, in collaboration with Hamilton County, aims to improve connectivity and accessibility while preserving the area's urban and historic charm. Innovation Mile, spanning 600 acres along Interstate 69, is poised to become a hub for work, living, and recreation, fostering sustainable economic growth. Future developments include the Indiana Joint Replacement Institute and the Noblesville Events Center, set to host the Indiana Pacers G League franchise. Exciting times lie ahead for this vibrant city! More details are available at www.InnovationMile.com.

The upper northwest corner of Hancock County was initially inhabited by Miami and Potawatomi Indian tribes. Among the earliest recorded white settlers was Francis Kincade, who established himself in the area as early as 1826, marking out clearly defined roads by 1834. His property, known as "The Crossroads," was intersected by the Greenfield-Noblesville Pike (now SR 238) and Main Street (now SR 36/67).Thomas R. Noel erected and managed a general store and post office at this juncture, forming the settlement known as Phoebe Fort. The post office was christened "Walpole" in honor of Thomas D. Walpole, a notable attorney and politician from Greenfield.
In 1849, Cephas Fort surveyed the original plat of Fortville on his property, envisioning the advent of the railroad in the region. True to his anticipation, the "Bee Line" Railroad (later the New York Central) passed through in 1852, prompting the naming of the railroad station Fortville in his honor. The town center shifted somewhat from its original site to accommodate this development. Fortville was formally incorporated in 1865, with a population of 240 residents.

McCordsville's history is rich with McCord family roots tracing back to William McCord's acquisition of 160 acres in 1833. The town got its name from Elias Hollingsworth McCord, a respected figure known for his generosity. McCord families, hailing from Clermont County, Ohio, played key roles in shaping the community. Notable McCords like Smith McCord, a Justice of the Peace, and Indiana McCord, a skilled seamstress, contributed to the town's development. Green McCord, a Civil War veteran, and Susan Noakes McCord, a renowned quilt maker, added to McCordsville's legacy. Elias H. McCord's sawmill and later gristmill were integral to the town's growth. Today, McCordsville stands as a testament to the vibrant history woven by the McCord families.
McCordsville has big plans for future development in the new downtown district including the creation of a new McCordsville Town Hall and a Civic Commons outdoor amphitheater with connectivity throughout downtown and to existing neighborhoods. Stay tuned for many more exciting advancements coming in 2024 and 2025!
