Tipton County, Indiana

New 40 Page Booklet

Early days in Tipton County, IN, and nearby communities are recalled in this spiral bound booklet reprinted from the 1901 booklet: The History of Tipton County, Indiana. The booklet is printed one-sided on 60# paper with the print enlarged for easier reading. A vinyl sheet has been added to protect the front cover.

We have not been able to find the original title page for this rare document, but have based the title and original publication date on information found within the text. Although the original intent seems to be a history of the county, the actual material covers a wider area than the Tipton County of today. Towns included are: Atlanta, Curtisville, Goldsmith, Hobbs, Jackson, Kempton, New Lancaster, Normanda, Sharpsville, Tetersburg, Tipton and Windfall.

The booklet begins with a brief history of the county, which was officially created in 1844. It then gives a history of each town, noting early settlers, societies and businesses. The original booklet was filled with ads from local businesses. We have not included these, but we have listed the advertisers.

Wouldn't this make a unique gift?
