This
county,was named
in honor of
Noah Noble, Governor of the State of Indiana from 1831 to 1837. The
face of the county is quite diversified, portions of it being nearly
level, and other parts somewhat rolling or hilly. About one-half is
heavily timbered; the balance, with the exception of one prairie of
four thousand acres, and several small ones, is oak openings. The soil
is mostly a black loam mixed with sand; there is very little clay. In
places, small, wet prairies are intermixed with small lakes and
rolling, gravelly barrens, and the soil is poor; but generally the soil
is rich, and well adapted to wheat, oats, and, in the timbered land, to
grass. As a whole, the county is well adapted to agriculture, and the
labors of the husbandman are fully rewarded.
Albion, the county seat, is located in the centre of the county. It is a lively town, with good public improvements, excellent school advantages, and considerable commercial importance.
