Howard County was formally organized May 1, 1844 as
Richardville
County
. As this
county nearly all within
the old
Miami
Reserve, it was named after the Miami
Chief and successor of Little Turtle, however, the
sentiment did not prevail for
any length of time and on December 28, 1846, the Legislature passed its first
and only act changing the name of a county.
Howard County is divided into 11 Civil Townships as follows: Center, Clay, Ervin,
Harrison, Honey Creek,
Howard, Jackson, Liberty, Monroe,
Taylor
and
Union
.
Kokomo
is the County Seat. It is located on the site of the Indian village of
the same name and was first
settled in the autumn of 1844 by N. R. Lindsey,
J. Bohan, C. Richmond, J. L. Barritt, J. T. McClintock,
B. Newhouse, and others. By 1849 it contained five stores, one grocery, fifty
dwelling houses, and 250 inhabitants.
These volumes are indexed, but do not include a Table of Contents.
They are searchable.
The
first volume relates the history of the state, county and townships.
The second is dedicated to biographies of its citizens.
“To perpetuate the story of …people and to trace and record the social, political and industrial progress
of the community from its
first inception is the function of the local historian. A sincere purpose
to preserve facts and personal memoirs that are deserving
of preservation, and which unite the
present to the past, is the motive for the present publication. Able writers have, after much
patient study and research, produced here the most complete biographical memoirs of
Howard
County
,
Indiana
, ever offered to the public.
A specially valuable and interesting department is that one devoted to the sketches of
representative citizens of this county
whose records deserve perpetuation because of
their worth, effort and accomplishment.”
