Mapping and Research for Carroll County, Indiana
Organized January 7, 1828, Carroll County was named for Charles Carroll,
then the last survivor of those who had signed the Declaration of
Independence.
The first County Seat was christened Carrollton, but on May 24, 1828,
was changed to Delphi. By 1849 Delphi had a 1,000 inhabitants and
contained a Methodist, Baptist and Episcopalian church.
Carroll County is known for having a major port on the Wabash-Erie Canal
at Delphi. Products shipped on the Canal were newsprint made at two
papermills. Yet another enterprise were packing houses that turned out "canvas hams", and also lime kilns, which produced construction grade
burned lime, which was shipped all over the Midwest for use as
whitewash, mortar and plaster.
