This county bears
the
name of
Jonathan Jennings, the first governor of the State of Indiana. Near the
streams the surface of the county is hilly and broken, and moderately
fertile, except in the beech flats, at the head of the streams, where
it is only fit for grass. There is an abundance of excellent timber in
the county, of which large quantities are exported. There are also good
quarries of lime stone, from which the interior of the State is largely
supplied.
Vernon, a thriving town in the center of the county, is the seat of
justice of Jennings county, but North Vernon, in Center township, is
the largest town, having a population of over two thousand, good public
improvements, excellent school facilities, and increasing commercial
interests. The county is a good one, farming is profitable, and the
farmers are prosperous. It is traversed by three
railroads. |
