The county bears the name of Captain
Jacob Warrick, a brave soldier and much esteemed citizen, who fell at
the head of his company, in the battle of Tippecanoe. The surface of
the county is mostly rolling or undulating, though there is a range of
hills back of the river bottoms, and there are large tracts of flat,
wet land at the heads of Pigeon and other creeks, with which the county
is watered. The soil of the bottoms, many of which are large, is very
rich, and immense crops of corn are produced there. Much of the upland
is of a good quality, and the soil of the county, generally speaking,
is productive. Boonville is the county seat, and is a thrifty place,
having attained a growth equal to the development of the section of
country around it. The only incorporated city is Boonville;
incorporated towns are: Chandler, Elberfeld, Lynnville, Newburgh, and
Tennyson. Some unincorporated towns are: Folsomville, Millersburgh,
Paradise, Selvin and Yankeetown.
