Thorntown

The landscape around Thorntown is flat to gently rolling central Indiana farmland, which has shaped both the town’s compact form and its agricultural economy. Set in Boone County, the community lies near Sugar Creek, a Wabash River tributary that cuts through broad rural country before reaching the forested ravines farther west. Thorntown was laid out in 1830 and took its name from Chief Thorn, a Native American leader associated with the area. Its streets retain the practical scale of a small Midwestern town, with local businesses and civic life focused close to the historic centre.
