Mapping and Research for Boone County, Indiana
Organized April 1, 1830, Boone County was named for pioneer frontiersman, Daniel Boone.
The County Seat is Lebanon. Lebanon wasn't always the county seat. The first courts were held in Jamestown, which remained the seat of justice until the removal to Lebanon. An act of the Legislature on January 21, 1832, provided commissioners to relocate the County Seat to Lebanon. As the first Courthouse was completed in in 1833, it is presumed that the formal transfer of the County Seat occurred that year.
The present Courthouse, which was completed and dedicated July 4, 1912, is built of Bedford limestone and one of the features is the dome, which is the second in size in the state, being fifty feet in diameter. The north and south entrances are each adorned by four columns 35 feet 3 inches in length, 52 inches in diameter at the base and 48 inches at the tip. These columns were said to be in [in 1915] the largest one-piece columns in the United States.
