Some Fayette County
History
This county
was
appropriately named in honor of
the
distinguished General La Fayette.
The surface of the county is divided
nearly in the centre by the west fork of "Whitewater", which is a very
serviceable stream for manufacturing purposes. The surface of the
county is rolling in the east and south, and level in the north and
west, with a large proportion of bottoms, and every part of the county
is susceptible of profitable cultivation. The forests were originally
dense and valuable, consisting principally of walnut, poplar, sugar,
beech, hickory, oak, etc. The soil is very productive, and the labors
of the husbandman are attended with substantial rewards. The farmers of
Fayette county are nearly all wealthy. They have good residences, their
farms are well improved, good school buildings grace every district,
and a general thrift pervades the whole county.
Connersville, the county seat, is one of the
finest
towns in
Indiana. It has a population of about four thousand, excellent schools,
good churches and fine public improvements. The city has ample railroad
improvements, bringing it into direct communication with all points of
importance. The commercial and manufacturing interests of the city are
in a flourishing condition. The citizens are a very intelligent class
of people, full of the right sort of public spirit.
