Warrick County, Indiana
Genealogy and History
|
|
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.
