19th century 102 dated mentions
1810s
- 1814–1874Richard Carlisle, the founder — and Professor Risley
Richard Risley Carlisle was born in New Jersey in 1814 — Burlington County in the standard biography, Salem in the circus historians' anthology.
1820s
- 18211821: the Treaty of Chicago does not reach this ground
The town lies west of the 1821 cession's western boundary, though north of its southern one.
- 1822–1835The mission ground: Carey Mission, the Sauk Trail corridor, and a township named Olive
The Baptist missionary Isaac McCoy established the Carey Mission among the Potawatomi on the St. Joseph River near present Niles, Michigan, in December 1822; its school opened 27 January 1823 with thirty pupils, and the mission — named for the English Baptist missionary William Carey…
- 1823–1880T. J. Garoutte: merchant, trustee, legislator
T. J. Garoutte was born in Ohio 19 December 1823, son of James S. and Mary (Babington) Garoutte; the family came to Indiana in 1830 and to this county in 1831, the year of his mother's death on the Rolling Prairie road, told above.
- 1826Starting title: the Potawatomi Tribe as landowner
Every instrument plotted below is therefore tested as a cession by that entity, and the Commission's own area-by-area attributions are carried beside the plot test: as the articles show, the Commission's mapping agrees with the treaty calls — the strip above the 1817 line at this longitude is an 1826 taking.
- 18261826: the treaty that took the townsite
The townsite was taken by the second tract of the first article of the Treaty of 16 October 1826. The treaty, made near the mouth of the Mississinewa, cedes two tracts.
- 1826–1834The founding road: the treaty strip and the survey
Article Two of the treaty with the Potawatomi of 16 October 1826 — the same instrument whose schedule of grants put the townsite's quarter-section in Lazarus Bourissa's hands, dug whole in this build's land section…
- 1826–1835Lazarus Bourissa and the treaty-grant families
The schedule attached to the Treaty of 1826 (7 Stat.
- 1826–1835The founders, on both sides of the ground
On the Indigenous side the founding is a treaty paper: the schedule attached to the Treaty of 16 October 1826 (7 Stat.
- 1826–1835The treaty-era fortune: the grants totalled, the cash stated at its record
The Treaty of 16 October 1826 (7 Stat.
- 1826–1835The reserves on this ground: the Carey Mission scholar quarter-sections
The sixth article of the Treaty of 1826 and the schedule of grants annexed to it (the schedule text at 7 Stat.
- 1826–2026The era structure: five parts, every fortune assigned
Trading and land (1826–1880): the treaty grants (the article above) and the prairie holders — Reynolds, Clark and Ranstead, 7,433 acres together — sized in the sector article below.
- 18281828: the Carey Mission treaty takes ground on both sides of this strip — not this strip
The town lies in the gap between the 1828 treaty's two cessions.
- 1829The federal survey as a map event
The first map of this ground that the record proves is the United States survey itself: the rectangular grid laid over the cession of 1826, which fixed the township lines, the sections, and — in the fall of 1829 — the very quarter-sections on which the town would stand.
- 1829–1906Names that run through the record: the Comptons and the publisher's family
Hugh V. Compton, born 18 September 1829 in Butler County, Ohio, brought to this county at six, kept "a first-class livery stable" in New Carlisle and owned it with a 150-acre farm; in 1880 he rode as a "rider" — a sworn constable for the purpose…
1830s
- 1830Hamilton Methodist Church — the county's first Methodist society, organized 1830
Chapman calls James Armstrong "the Evangelist of Methodism in this county," here until his death in the fall of 1834, and records that the first Methodist society in St. Joseph County was organized at the house of Paul Egbert on Terre Coupee Prairie: eight individuals, with John Egbert as class-leader, formed…
- 1830–1831The county's first law: sheriff, constables, and a log jail
St. Joseph County was organized in August 1830; its courts sat at South Bend, and its coercive apparatus was built in a single season.
- 1830–1835The founding claims, as a pair: who came first, and who founded
Around the denial the page fixes the Vails' true place: Charles Vail settled in 1830 and was afterward elected County Judge, and "this township received its name in honor of the wife of Charles Vail" — the township's name is Olive's monument, the marriage claim false.
- 1830–1835The state as landowner: office, survey, and first sales
Ceded in 1826, the county's lands "did not come into market until the spring of 1830."
- 1830–1837The first settlers of the township
Asher White came at sixteen in 1830; his full course stands in the long-tail register below. The chapter also names the founding dead: Samuel and Jesse Garwood, Jeremiah Williamson, John Baker, James Shingleton, Nathan Haines, Isaac Phillips and Jacob Egbert.
- 1830–1851The stage-road town: hotel, store, post office, and Hamilton's eclipse
The town grew up on the Michigan Road, located through this ground in 1830.
- 1830–1851The road on this ground: located 1830, and the town it made
Chapman, whose 1880 county history is this build's first-hand carrier for the road's local course, records that the first regularly located road in St. Joseph County was made in 1830 under Judge Polk of Logansport, by order of the State — the Michigan Road, run from Madison on the Ohio River to the mouth of Trail Creek…
- 1830–1861Terre Coupee's founders: Hubbard, Egbert, and the man named Hamilton
Jacob Egbert (died 17 January 1871, aged 76, at Hamilton) was of the township's first family: his kinsmen Paul and John Egbert hosted the county's first Methodist society in 1830, and an Egbert — John — served as the county agent who carried out the first county-seat bond issue, with Jacob Egbert as one of his bondsmen.
- 1830–1880Charles and Olive Vail: the woman the township is named for
Charles Vail settled in the township in 1830 and was afterward elected a county judge. His wife was Olive (Stanton) Vail.
- 1830–1921The oldest-institution claims, one by one
Chapman supports the claim in its parts, and the parts have two dates: the first Methodist society in St. Joseph County was organized at the house of Paul Egbert on Terre Coupee Prairie, its class formed, by the society's tradition, in 1830; and "the first church was built at Hamilton in 1838, by the Methodists"…
- 1830–1928One street, four names — and the Death Crossing
Michigan Street through New Carlisle is one street under four names: the Michigan Road, located in 1830; the Lincoln Highway from 1913; State Road 2 in the first state numbering; and U.S. 20.
- 1830–2026Hamilton: the first center, under its everyday name
Here the county's first Methodist society organized in 1830, in the cabin country of the Garwoods, Hubbards and Egberts; here the township's first school-house of the record stood, in Chapman's account; here the hotel-keeper whose enterprise founded the settlement kept his house…
- 1830–2026The frame: three kinds of holder, five named grounds, and a federal list that undercounts
The congregation ground is Hamilton Church Cemetery, laid out with the Methodist society of 1830 at the township's first center.
- 1830–2026Family grounds, and the register that stays silent
The GNIS-derived listing that seats this township's cemeteries warns, in its own text, that small private and family burial grounds may not appear in the public records at all…
- 1830–todayBurial grounds and communal institutions — the religious institutions between the congregations
The oldest is congregation ground: the Hamilton Church Cemetery at Hamilton, established 1830 with the Methodist society itself, entered in the Indiana Cemetery and Burial Grounds Registry and marked by the Indiana Historical Bureau in 2013…
- 1830–todayHamilton Church Cemetery: the 1830 ground
The Methodist society organized at Hamilton in 1830 — the first congregation organized in St. Joseph County, on the Religion section's record — and its cemetery is the ground of that congregation, at the old Chicago Road crossing in the township's northeast, where the village of Hamilton stood.
- 18321832: the Black Hawk alarm and the fort
In the Black Hawk War summer of 1832 the settlement on Terre Coupee Prairie heard that an Indian had killed a white man near present Chicago.
- 1832–18331832–1833: the Tippecanoe treaties and the removal treaty
Three treaties of October 1832 and the Treaty of Chicago of 1833 complete the instrument roll; none of them takes this ground, which was already ceded.
- 1834–1880The prairie holders: Reynolds, Clark and Ranstead
Clark (born 1816 in Warren County, Ohio; came to the county in 1834) held 1,500 acres alone, dealt in lands, served as township supervisor, and was elected Justice of the Peace — "and refused to serve," the law's loss being the prairie's gain.
- 1834–1880The teachers: Samuel Bate and Professor Rowell
He married Harmony Allen in 1830 — she died in 1860 and lies beside him at Hamilton — and "arrived in this county 'Sept. 31, 1834,'" as Chapman prints it: September has thirty days, and the impossible date prints here as the record's own, flagged and uncorrected, because the error is itself part of what the record is.
- 1835The plat of 1835 and the promotion plat of 1837
Carlisle acknowledged the plat on 15 August 1835.
- 1835–1837The speculation era and the closing state line
The title account for the townsite closes in this state: tribal title in the Potawatomi Tribe; ceded by the second tract of the Treaty of 16 October 1826 (Royce Area 133); one quarter-section of section 34 reserved from the public course by the same treaty's schedule of scholar grants and located to Lazarus Bourissa in 1829…
- 1835–1837The plat as the city's first map, 1835 — and its lithographed second life, 1837
The town's first map of itself is its dedication: the plat Richard R. Carlisle laid on the scholar's quarter-section and dedicated on 15 August 1835, drawing a hundred-foot Michigan Street and sixty-foot cross streets across the prairie's edge before most of the lots had buyers.
- 1835–1841The Speculation Era and Its Bust: A Named Buyer, a Paper Town, and a State That Went Broke
The town's own Discover New Carlisle history records that in 1835 Lazarus Bourissa's 160 acres were purchased by Richard Risley Carlisle and the name was subsequently changed to New Carlisle…
- 1835–1843The establishment test — no New Carlisle office on 1 July 1836
The town was platted in 1835, and the post office was not there yet. The federal Table of Post Offices in the United States, on the first of July 1836, searched whole for the name, carries exactly one New Carlisle: Clark County, Ohio's.
- 1835–1861The two oldest houses: the item at its true size
That is printed as a finding about the record, not about the town: a village platted in 1835, with a merchant class by the 1850s, assuredly raised houses in the 1840s and 1850s, and some may stand.
- 1835–2026First, the paper: the 1835 plat and the geography of the additions
The town was platted in 1835 on the northeast quarter of section 34, the scholar quarter-section that had been Lazarus Bourissa's under the Treaty of 1826's schedule, purchased from the scholar's children by Richard R. Carlisle and dedicated by him on 15 August 1835 — the land leg's record, pointed to here and not re-dug.
- 1835–2026Closing synthesis: a town that grew by additions, inside a township of hamlets
A plat of 1835 on a quarter-section. A first addition old enough to be the cemetery ordinance's frame in 2026, its blocks and lots still administering burials.
- 1836–1843Correspondents: a future Vice President writes from New Carlisle, and a pioneer writes for the Gazette
New Carlisle produced no editor of record's record — but it housed, for five boyhood years, a boy who became one of Indiana's great editors: Schuyler Colfax came to New Carlisle in 1836, aged thirteen, with his mother and his stepfather George W. Matthews, and lived here until the family moved to South Bend in 1841…
- 1836–1847The stage-road town: Cranmer, Ivens, the Mathews store — and Schuyler Colfax
Richard Cranmer built the town's hotel in 1836 and sold it to Joseph Ivens, whose house won, Chapman says, a "great reputation" on the stage line; when Mrs. R. J. Pidge arrived in 1847, the hotel was still Ivens', and the post office — established 1837 — sat in a blacksmith shop.
- 1837–1880Law in the township: justices, riders, and one disorder
Israel Rush, the first Justice of the Peace, died in 1837. Henry H. Clark, the prairie holder, was elected Justice of the Peace in his turn "and refused to serve" — the record's only refusal, and a measure of the office's burdens.
- 1837–1885Booster cartography, named as persuasion
The first is this section's hinge: the 1837 lithographed plat with its beautiful view, printed in New York "in numbers" to circulate in the East — a plat drawn not to record the town but to sell it, its streets' widths honest and its emptiness composed, the proprietor's cartography in the pure form.
- 1837–2026Terre Coupee: the vacated plat, the railroad name, and the parish that carries it now
Howard's Terre Coupee section gives the instrument whole: the plat was surveyed by Thomas P. Bulla for Jacob Egbert and acknowledged 12 April 1837; additions by Egbert and Hubbard were acknowledged 30 January 1841; and on 10 June 1841 the county commissioners vacated the plat entire.
- 1837–2026The bird's-eye that was, and the ones that were not
The panoramic class prints its negative for this town, and the negative has a shape: New Carlisle published a town view once, in 1837, and no copy is located; no later bird's-eye of the town stands in the record read at all.
- 1837–2026The forecast record, scored; and the present state of the count
A town's forecasts are part of its population history, and New Carlisle's record opens with an act of persuasion: the extended plat of 1837, lithographed in New York with "a beautiful view of the town overlooking Terre Coupee prairie," prepared in numbers to circulate in the East and attract settlers…
- 1838–1843Removal: the dated course, and the band that stayed
The Michigan removal clock ran three years from the 1833 treaty's proclamation on 21 February 1835, expiring 21 February 1838.
- 1838–2000The architects of the town's buildings
Oliver Emery, named by Howard as the architect of the Hamilton Methodist church of 1838–1841, stands alone: the only designer attached to any building in the township in any source read for this build.
- 1838–2024The churches as buildings: one named architect, one church that left by rail
The Religion section owns the congregations; this article owns their buildings, and the buildings' record runs from a named architect in 1838 to a fiberglass steeple in 1968.
1840s
- 1841–todayOlive Chapel — the Christians of section 11, organized January 1, 1841
The society was organized January 1, 1841, at the house of James S. Parnell; the organizing membership was James S. Parnell, J. S. Hooton, Esther Hooton, Polly Parnell, William Hooton, and Jackson Hale and wife.
- 1841–todayOlive Chapel Cemetery: the Christians' ground, the township's charge
Olive Chapel Cemetery began as the burying ground of the Christian congregation organized on 1 January 1841 — the Olive Chapel Christians of the Religion section — whose chapel of 1869 stood on the section 11 side of the township's south-central country.
- 1849–todayNew Carlisle United Methodist Church — first preaching 1849, class formed 1853
Chapman, spelling the name Saulsberry, dates the first Methodist preaching at New Carlisle to 1849, "then on 'Byron Circuit.'" A schoolhouse built in 1852 was used for church purposes and Sunday school, and the first class was formed in 1853: Mr. and Mrs. A. H. Pidge, Josiah Pidge, Jacob Hopkins, James and Delilah…
1850s
- 1851The railroad of 1851
"The coming of the Lake Shore railroad, in 1851, secured the stability of the little municipality." So Howard writes, and the National Register nomination repeats the name; the build chain underneath the name is printed whole because the 1851 builder was not yet the "Lake Shore."
- 1851–2026The steam road under all its names: 1851 to Norfolk Southern
One railroad has run through New Carlisle since 1851, under six owners' names, and it has never moved.
- 1853–2026The enforcement succession, named in this section
From 1853–54 the Terre Coupee Anti-Horse-Thief Association's riders were "authorized to act as constables for the purposes of the association by a State law" (Chapman) — the township's first enforcement form, a mutual company's riders wearing a constable's authority for one class of crime.
- 1858–2026Gazetteers: each directory's form of the town
The earliest form reached in this build is Hawes' gazetteer of 1858–59, whose New Carlisle carries a Presbyterian church that no other record of the town preserves: the gazetteer's form of the town includes a congregation the ground has otherwise lost entire, and the Religion section carries it as a named gap with the…
- 1859–1978The philanthropy turn, measured: where the pools became institutions
1859: J. H. Service gives $500 to start the Methodist college — private money founding the building the town would buy for its school (the schools addendum carries the purchase).
- 1859–2024The Methodist Collegiate Institute: the town's grandest nineteenth-century building, gone in 2024
For a hundred sixty-five years the largest building of the town's first age stood on the Compton Street ground: the Methodist Collegiate Institute's brick pile of 1859, forty-four by seventy-five feet, two stories of brick raised for a college that the Schools section follows through its brief, earnest course.
- 1859–2026The ladder, level by level: what was closed, converted and rebuilt
Chapman, read at the page for this section, tells it whole: the Methodist Episcopal Church erected the two-story brick building, 44 by 75 feet, in 1859 as a Methodist college — the Collegiate Institute…
1860s
- 1860–2000The Jeremiah Service House, or Old Republic: the town's mansion, 1860–1861
The one house in town with a federal file of its own is the merchant's house at 302 East Michigan Street — a two-story Italianate brick dwelling of 1860–1861, square in plan, crowned with the most recognizable silhouette in New Carlisle: a central cupola topped by a Turkish-style onion dome.
- 1860–2026The Great Houses
The Service House — this section's whole entry: built 1860–61, Italianate, the grain-and-banking family's seat, carried entire in the architecture file with its farm at society strength; its building cost stands in no source reached, and the house prints with its cost unsized, under the head rule.
- 1861–1865The Civil War: the county's frame and the township's committee
On the night of 19 April 1861, at the second great war meeting at South Bend, committees were appointed for every township "to solicit and collect subscriptions to aid in forming and equipping volunteer companies, and to provide for the families of such volunteers as may need assistance."
- 1861–1865The township's soldiers, as the record names them
From Chapman's sketches: Andrew J. Bryant (born 1841), who came to the county in 1861 and enlisted in 1862 in Company F, 94th Ohio Infantry, fought at Murfreesboro (Stones River), and was discharged at the close of the war — an Ohio regiment and an Indiana farm, printed as the sketch gives both.
- 1861–1865One regiment whole: the 29th Indiana, and the township's company tie
The 29th Indiana Infantry was organized at La Porte, in the next county, in August 1861 — a regiment raised from this corner of the state.
- 1864–1865The township's dead: one named, two standing at the record's edge
The one: Michael McDonald , "a pioneer in this county," whose son Perry's sketch states he was "killed in 1864 in the war."
- 1865–1880Fred G. Miller and the Polanders
In 1865, Chapman records, he "imported the first company of 'Polanders' into Indiana," most of them settling in this township's marsh timber; he was "still importing them" in 1880, when about thirty-five families were there, "industriously clearing the marsh timber, and having farms of 20 to 80 acres each."
- 1866Incorporation: the election of 1866
Howard prints the instrument's whole course from the commissioners' record: "On June 7, 1866, Samuel C. Lancaster and thirty-one others filed with the board of county commissioners a petition for the incorporation of the town…
- 1866–2026The president line: the checklist's mayoral line, mapped to a town's office
Before 2008 the line does not run online at all: the presidency and council succession of 1866–2007 stands in the town's minute books and ordinance book, which no pass has read, and in part in the State Board of Accounts' schedules of officials — the instrument that does carry the clerk's line backward in the next article.
- 1868The Christian Church of 1868 — today's Community Christian Church
Early in 1868, Chapman records, Elder Ira J. Chase of Mishawaka "commenced a series of sermons on primitive Christianity" in New Carlisle, at the request of two or three disciples living in the town, assisted first by W. M. Roe, pastor of the Christian Church at Rolling Prairie…
1870s
- 1871–1880The water-works of 1879
Chapman's municipal beat, printed whole: the works were first proposed in 1871 and met opposition; the measure required a two-thirds vote of the property holders; George H. Service offered to insure the sale of the bonds at par; and "$7,000 of bonds negotiated at par, at seven per cent., with a savings bank in Vermont, to run 15 years."
- 1871–1880The water-works of 1879 — voted, bonded, and built cheap
The project had first been proposed in 1871 and met "considerable opposition"; carrying it required a two-thirds vote of the property holders.
- 1875Good Templars — Olive Branch Lodge No. 149, seated in the register
Olive Branch Lodge No. 149 of the Independent Order of Good Templars was organized in New Carlisle 4 January 1875 by Grand Worthy Chief Templar J. J. Talbott.
- 1875The atlas trade: Higgins, Belden & Co., 1875
The subscription atlas is the nineteenth century's great local map machine, and its St. Joseph County volume — the Illustrated Historical Atlas of St. Joseph County, Indiana , published by Higgins, Belden & Co. of Chicago in 1875 — is the single most worked cartographic document in this entire build.
- 1875–1920The dry years: the township answered liquor with a lodge
Olive Branch Lodge No. 149 of the Independent Order of Good Templars was organized in New Carlisle 4 January 1875 by Grand Worthy Chief Templar J. J. Talbott.
- 1878–1880The name's telling: Terre Coupee, the lake that cut the land off
The ground's name comes down with a story attached, and the story has a teller — a writer in the South Bend Tribune in 1878, quoted whole by Chapman.
- 1879The water-works of 1879
"The citizens here built their water-works in 1879, when everything was cheap."
1880s
- 1880The twenty-three oldest: the census list of 1880
From the 1880 census, as furnished by the enumerators and filed in the clerk's office at South Bend, Chapman prints every person in the county over seventy-five.
- 1880The richest-man test, run explicitly: "said to be the richest man in St. Joseph county"
The claim is quoted to its contemporary source first: Chapman, 1880, page 766 — "John Reynolds, said to be the richest man in St. Joseph county."
- 1880The defining feature: a lake-prairie on the divide, measured and named
The prairie first, in Chapman's measure (p. 765): Terre Coupee prairie is "over four miles in diameter and contains 3,000 or 4,000 acres," its land at $80 to $120 an acre in 1880, "almost as level as a barn floor, and just sandy enough"…
- 1880The first press: the New Carlisle Gazette of 1880, and the end the record contradicts
New Carlisle's press begins, on the record reached, in 1880: the New Carlisle Gazette is the earliest paper the directory seats in the town — forty-five years after the plat, in a village the state gazetteer of 1884–85 describes as an enterprising place of 1,000 inhabitants on the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern…
- 1880The New Carlisle Gazette: the town's paper, as a source about itself
Chapman, writing in the year of the event, gives the founding at contemporary strength: the Gazette "established as an independent newspaper by G. H. Alward of South Bend and G. M. Fountain of Mishawaka; first number issued Feb. 6, 1880," a six-column folio enlarged to seven columns at its eleventh number…
- 1880–2020The census line: six hundred for forty years, then the climb
The published decennial series opens in 1880; no separate returns for the town appear in the table for 1850–1870.
- 1880–2020The series in full, 1880–2020 — and the three censuses that are missing
The federal census has counted New Carlisle as a separate place in every enumeration from 1880 to 2020, and the line it draws is the Story of New Carlisle section of this section: 1880, 530; 1890, 607; 1900, 597; 1910, 612; 1920, 609; 1930, 718; 1940, 747; 1950, 983; 1960, 1,376; 1970, 1,434; 1980, 1,439; 1990, 1,446…
- 1880–2020The eras read off the numbers
First, the long plateau of the railroad age, 1880–1920: from 530 to 609, a gain of 14.9 percent across forty years, containing two outright declines — 607 to 597 between 1890 and 1900 (−1.6 percent), 612 to 609 between 1910 and 1920 (−0.5 percent).
- 2000sThe ethnic superlatives: "second in size in the State," against "~300 families"
The first is Chapman's, at first hand, of the Good Templars' Olive Branch Lodge No. 149: "From Nov. 1, 1878, to Aug. 1, 1880, the membership increased from 95 to 143, and the lodge is now the second in size in the State."
- 1884–1885Emerick's Opera House: the gazetteer's one line, and the house the record has not given back
The opera-house test, run the Walkerton way, comes back positive — at directory strength, and only at directory strength: Polk's Indiana State Gazetteer and Business Directory for 1884–85, in its statewide "Theatres and Halls" list, names Emerick's Opera House, New Carlisle .
- 1884–2026The parish school's present state: tested against the diocese, and standing as a gap
The banked course stands: St. Stanislaus Kostka's school ran 1884–1925, and reopened on 11 September 1995.
- 1884–todaySt. Stanislaus Kostka Parish, Terre Coupee — the Catholic parish, founded 1884
In 1884 the Rev. Valentine Czyzewski, C.S.C., pastor of St. Hedwig in South Bend, founded the parish and chose its patron, the boy saint Stanislaus Kostka.
- 1884–todayThe Terre Coupee parish ground: a tested question
A Polish parish seated since 1884, with a school, a rectory, a hall and a grotto, would ordinarily keep a burying ground of its own — and for St. Stanislaus Kostka at Terre Coupee, no record read for this build attests one.
- 1886–1929The Sanborn run, measured: five editions, on film, unopened
The fire-insurance map is the most truthful portrait a small town ever sat for, and New Carlisle sat five times: the Sanborn Map Company's editions for this town run 1886, 1893, 1899, 1907 and 1929…
1890s
- 1890–2020The township frame, as its own series
The State of Indiana's official township table, republished from the census counts by the Indiana Business Research Center's STATS Indiana, gives Olive Township in full: 1890, 2,111; 1900, 1,998; 1910, 1,820; 1920, 1,836; 1930, 2,144; 1940, 2,427; 1950, 2,873; 1960, 3,406; 1970, 3,383; 1980, 3,418; 1990, 3,573; 2000, 3,914…
- 1893Goodspeed's Pictorial and Biographical Memoirs (1893)
The class is the vanity-biographical class at its most characteristic: sketches of the men who subscribed, written warm, and — used at their proper strength — a prosopography of the county's propertied class in 1893, including, in the ordinary course of such volumes, Olive Township farmers and New Carlisle merchants.
- 1895–1919James W. Swanson: the private the post is named for
James W. Swanson was born at New Carlisle 19 January 1895, son of Clous and Lottie Swanson. He was an employee of the Studebaker Company in South Bend when he enlisted in the U.S. Regular Army, 21 May 1917 — among the first volunteers of the county's war, weeks after the declaration.
- 1896–1918Stanley Paszkiet: died of pneumonia at Verdun
Stanley Paszkiet was born at New Carlisle 26 April 1896, son of Simon and Louise Paszkiet — a farmer's son of the Polish settlement Fred Miller had planted in the township's marsh timber two generations before.
- 1897–1916Brummitt — hardware, then the Brummitt Mercantile Company, 1897–1903 and after
The Brummitt brothers established a private bank in the spring of 1897 inside their hardware building — it ran until 1900, when it was incorporated as the First National Bank of New Carlisle (the bank's course is carried whole in the banks file)…
- 1897–1963The Brummitts, cross-carried: hardware, bank, and the mercantile company
Their private bank was established in the spring of 1897 in the hardware building, A. R. Brummitt cashier, and ran until 1900, when it was incorporated as the First National Bank of New Carlisle — the town's only chartered institution, ever…
- 1897–2026The name-chains, printed whole
The hardware-and-bank chain: the Brummitt brothers' hardware store (with a private bank in the back of the building, established spring 1897, A. R. Brummitt cashier) → the firm incorporated in 1903 as the Brummitt Mercantile Company, Mark L. Brummitt president and treasurer, dealing in "coal, lumber, grain, farm…
- 1898–19191898 and 1917–19: a tested silence, then two names in the state's roll
The county's 1898 course belongs to the county's builds. For the First World War the state itself kept the roll: the Indiana Gold Star Honor Roll (Indiana Historical Commission, 1921) prints, county by county, every Hoosier who died in the service, with parentage, birthplace and service course.
20th century 64 dated mentions
1900s
- 1900–1963The First National Bank of New Carlisle, 1900–1963
The firm's biography gives the course whole: the private bank was "established in the spring of 1897" in the Brummitt hardware building, A. R. Brummitt cashier, and "continued until 1900, when it was incorporated as the First National Bank of New Carlisle."
- 1903–2026Dealerships — the older record, tested
The horse-trade ground is whole: the Brummitt Mercantile Company's "vehicles" line of 1903, Charles C. Carney's harness shop and S. I. Lauver's livery in the 1916 roll, Ordung & Cunningham's wagonmaking beside them.
- 1906–2026The paper as archive — and the archive that is not there
The Gazette's largest surviving trace is the history it fed: Hugh V. Compton wrote his recollections of Terre Coupee prairie — the settlement country south and west of the town — for the New Carlisle Gazette of 16 November 1906, and Howard's county history lifted them whole into the county's standard record a year later, footnote and all.
- 1907–1934The first interurban: the Chicago, South Bend & Northern Indiana
Howard closed his town chapter in 1907 with the prophecy that "the two interurban railways soon to connect the town with South Bend, on the east and with Laporte, Michigan City and Chicago on the west" would make New Carlisle "one of the most desirable residence towns in the country"…
- 1908–2014The great works fires, as a set
The fires of record: the St. Stanislaus wood church, burned 1908, the parish rebuilding in brick on its ground at Terre Coupee (the Architecture section's ledger carries it); and the K-Fex fire of 2014, in which Assistant Chief Middlebrook died in the line of duty…
- 1908–2024The demolition ledger, whole
(1) The first St. Stanislaus church, wood, 1884, burned in 1908 while serving as the parish school — the township's one church fire of record, its replacement already rising beside it since 1903.
- 1908–2026The disaster set at building granularity
The church, 1908: the wood church of St. Stanislaus at Terre Coupee burned in 1908 — the parish's first building on its ground, replaced in the brick church whose glass the artists addendum gathers (the Architecture section's demolition ledger carries the fire).
- 1909–1947The stained glass gathered: St. Stanislaus's windows as the makers' major local work
What the gathered record does not carry is the makers: no glazier, studio or designer is named for any window in any carrier reached — the commissions print as the parish's work, and the artists' names stand as the article's named residue, settler the parish building records and the dedication coverage of 1909 and 1947.
- 1909–2013Monuments and markers, as built objects
First by date is the Civil War Memorial of 1909, erected by Deacon Relief Corps No. 48 in the southern quarter of the New Carlisle Cemetery — a relief corps' monument in the ground it served, dug in the cemeteries leg and entered here as the town's one true monument of the classical kind.
- 1909–2026The park built fabric, whole: memorial, honor roll, grotto, clubhouse
The Civil War Memorial (1909) — the set's anchor object: standing in the southern quarter of the New Carlisle Cemetery, reached from West Michigan Street (U.S. 20) east of County Line Road, inscribed "In Memory Of The Unknown Dead, Soldiers, Sailors And Marines Of The War of the Rebellion, 1861–1865," and erected in…
1910s
- 1910The closing waves, school by school — at the strength the record allows
No. 5 Public School, Tulip Road — the one firm name-and-place of the one-room era: in the fall of 1910 the parish of St. Stanislaus "bought the No. 5 Public School from Olive Township and moved it to the foundation of the old church," the building standing "roughly a quarter mile north of the present church on Tulip Road"…
- 1913–1928Before the branch: plates by mail, and the notary's desk
For the first motorists of Olive Township, there was no branch to go to: Indiana began issuing state license plates in 1913, and the transaction ran by mail.
- 1914–2026The federation line: the county's United Way, from 1914 to the present holder
The federation that covers Olive Township is the county's, and its own account dates it to 1914.
- 1915Built-environment reversals and industrial survivals: the church that left by rail, the elevator, the living sign
St. Mary's Episcopal church, New Carlisle's Episcopal building, was moved by rail out of town in 1915 and re-erected in East Chicago as the Church of the Good Shepherd — a congregation's whole building riding the same railroad corridor that built the town, printed here from the banked parish record.
- 1916Consumer Technology: The Pump Listing, Tested — and a Searched Negative Beyond It
The 1916–17 Polk Gazetteer entry for New Carlisle ends its business roll with “Miller James W, pumps.”
- 1916–1917The directory era — Foster, Waynick, and Borden the dentist
The 1916 canvass carries the practice line at three chairs. Frank H. Foster, physician; Joseph B. Waynick, physician; Isaac W. Borden, dentist — the whole of the town's professional health roll in Polk's 1916–17 entry, with Francis D. Warner's drugs and notions as the trade's dispensing counter beside them.
- 1916–1991The industrial buildings as architecture: the elevator, the steel plants, and the absent brewery
Zahl's Elevator & Feed Mill, 301 East Michigan Street: the corridor's industrial landmark, a working grain elevator standing on the town's main street where the Farmers Grain Co stood in the 1916 directory…
- 1916–2026Natural gas and the wires — NIPSCO by tariff; the telephone course thin
Telephone and internet print at their true, small size: the 1916 directory header carries "Tel., W. U." — telephone and Western Union telegraph at the railroad — and the express lines "Am. and Wells Fargo & Co." beside it…
- 1917The Carnegie grant: $9,000, September 14, 1917
New Carlisle's library building was Carnegie money, granted in the last season of the giving: $9,000, dated September 14, 1917, for a building at 124 East Michigan Street.
- 1917–1921The Carnegie library as a building: 124 East Michigan Street
The town's best-documented civic building began as its library: the Carnegie building of 1921 at 124 East Michigan Street, raised on Andrew Carnegie's grant of 9,000 dollars dated 14 September 1917, and serving today as the Town Hall — the town governed out of its library.
1920s
- 1920–1933Prohibition's places: no room named — the dry answer predates the law by a generation
No Prohibition room of this town is named in the record reached, and the pointer is the article: the 1920–33 record — the Gazette -era press and the court record at published strength reachable online…
- 1921Founded 1921: the library dates itself
The library's bylaws carry its own founding date in their mission statement: "The New Carlisle-Olive Township Public Library was founded in 1921."
- 1921Before the public library: the collections, seated as institutions or printed absent
The class therefore closes at its true size: three forms absent at institution strength, one statutory question open — the public library of 1921 begins this ground's library record, and everything before it is a schoolroom, a lodge room or a family's shelf.
- 1921–2002Eighty-one years on Michigan Street, and the building's second life
From its completion in 1921 until the move of 2002, the whole of this library's life happened in the one building at 124 East Michigan Street, on the town's main street in the middle of the historic business block: the Depression, the war years, the reciprocal-borrowing era, and the whole second half of the century…
- 1921–2026The Gold Star recount: the First World War roll re-counted, the Second's method stated
The method: the 1921 Indiana Gold Star Honor Roll's St. Joseph County section was read for men born at New Carlisle, and the yield checked name by name against the second carrier — the cemetery, sketch and service record as the banked set holds it.
- 1921–2026The directors: the line to its current holder, with its two spans named
Between the ends, two spans stand expressly unreached and are banked here again with their instruments: 1921–2004 (GAP-NC-LIB-2), the directorship from the Carnegie founding to the modern building, whose settler is the State Board of Accounts' schedules of officials read across the century…
- 1925The Death Crossing: four tracks at grade, and the cure
The completion is dated two ways in the record and both print: the survey account drawn from the Association's map gives the realignment as completed in 1925, while the same survey tradition's narrative and the Michigan Road survey give the straight road as running until 1926.
- 1926–2026Bendix Woods: the proving ground's gift, and the largest living sign
The county's park system begins three miles south of town, in a forest planted to spell a name: in 1926 the Studebaker Corporation developed its 800-acre proving ground on this ground, clubhouse and all — the industrial course is the Businesses leg's…
- 1927Open question: Stoll's account, 1923 or 1927
The question: stated whole in the Stoll article in Part One: the state library's guide dates the county account 1923, inside volume III of Esarey's History of Indiana ; the district nomination's bibliography dates the Esarey volume, from Dayton, Ohio, 1927 — and the two records give the work two different titles besides.
- 1929The licensing beats: the driver's license comes to Olive Township
The vehicle was licensed a generation before the driver was: Indiana's first law governing the licensing of drivers is the Act of March 13, 1929, chapter 162…
- 1929–1963The Depression test, and the end — absorbed, December 1963
The town's one bank came through the bank holiday licensed and kept its charter for another three decades; there is no 1929–34 failure in New Carlisle to record, and that negative is printed at the strength of the licensing lists.
1930s
- 1930–1951Hugh Maynard Burch: the unaccounted-for
Hugh Maynard Burch was born 22 April 1930. His home of record in the Defense Casualty Analysis System is New Carlisle, St. Joseph County.

- 1935The centennial line: the anniversaries, held or not shown
1935, the plat centennial: not shown. No observance of the hundredth year of the 1835 plat stands in any source this section reached.
- 1938The Gazette again: B. Wilson's new volume 1, 6 October 1938
In the autumn of 1938 the town's oldest newspaper name started over at volume 1: the Library of Congress title record for the second New Carlisle Gazette — a separate record, with its own control number, from the Gazette of 1880 — reads "New Carlisle [Ind.] : B. Wilson, 1938–", weekly, beginning "Vol. 1, no.
1940s
- 1946–2026The Legion: Post 297, named for James W. Swanson
The post's federal record dates its exemption to March 1946, and its Auxiliary's to October 1946 — the organization of the Second World War's homecoming generation, keeping the First World War dead man's name.
- 1949Desegregation: The State Act, and a Tested None for This Corporation
The turn came in 1949, when Indiana's desegregation law — House Bill 242 — provided for "equal, non-segregated, non-discriminatory educational opportunities and facilities for all," and desegregation proceeded on a phased basis, a grade at a time; the United States Supreme Court's decision in Brown v.
1950s
- 1950–2026The disability charities: LOGAN, the county's community-resources agency
LOGAN Community Resources of South Bend was started in 1950 by Joe and Sophie Newman, whose only child, Rita Jo, had special needs no school would serve — Rita Jo herself was never able to attend school.
- 1950–todayBoundary congregations — Hudson Lake Mennonite and the Rolling Prairie parishes
The Global Anabaptist Mennonite Encyclopedia Online (article of June 2024) records that the congregation grew from outreach by Olive Mennonite Church of Elkhart County — a namesake warning: that "Olive" is the Elkhart County congregation formerly called Shaum, not Olive Chapel of Olive Township…
- 1954–2025The rescue, homeless and food set: a mission of 1954, a center of 1988, a food bank of 1993
The rescue mission came first: Hope Ministries of South Bend — incorporated as Rescue Incorporated, and long known as the Hope Rescue Mission, under that name already sheltering the homeless by 1959 — was established in 1954…
1960s
- 1963–2026Today's office — 1st Source Bank, and the succession that is not yet proven
What the record reached does not prove is the corporate path from the National Bank & Trust Co. branch of 1963 to today's 1st Source office: a June 2022 survey of the Michigan Road photographed downtown's "longtime bank building" as, in a 2008-era survey statement it repeats, a Wells Fargo branch…
- 1965–2008The weather-disaster set: the crest, the outbreak, the blizzard
The outbreak: the Palm Sunday outbreak of 11 April 1965, the benchmark tornado day of northern Indiana, tore across the counties around this one; the township's own share of that day — a track, a farm, a damage line…
- 1968The baseball lineage, era by era — at the strength the record carries
The one-school era: New Carlisle High School's teams, to the school's close in 1968.
- 1969The wreck record: New Carlisle, 11 November 1969

1970s
- 1970The New Prairie Town Crier: a directory title, 1970–19??
The directory's third New Carlisle title is a name keyed to the town's second identity: the New Prairie Town Crier , carried from 1970 to an unknown end in the 1900s, LCCN SN87056632 (OCLC 16826656).

In 1978 , with the Indiana chapter of The Nature Conservancy's and the DNR's assistance, the South Bend Audubon Society bought the original forty acres from the Conservancy and donated the land to the county parks — a second deed in kind in the township's park record — and the ground was dedicated a State Nature Preserve…
1980s
- 1980–2026Wrestling: one state champion, and the program's firsts
The firsts stand in order: first qualifier Mitchel Kane, 1980; first placer Frank Fraser, 1997. An individual state title is a team-history fact at this size — the champion's biography belongs to the Sports Players leg, and this section carries the title, the year and the program roll at the strength of the sport's own record.
- 1981–2000The record itself: two listings, two filers, and the survey under them
Under both filings lies the fieldwork that made them possible: the Indiana Historic Sites and Structures Inventory of St. Joseph County, published at South Bend in 1981, the county survey in which the state's investigators first recorded the town's buildings one by one.
- 1982–2018The disaster-and-recovery beats: the floods, with the argument about the numbers
That record, from the federal gauges: on the Kankakee River near Shelby, the greatest discharge of record is 7,650 cubic feet per second on 26 March 1982, and the greatest gage height 12.98 feet on 24 March 1982…
- 1982–2018The flood sequence as a series: the record before the record, then the record
On the Kankakee River near Shelby, the flood of March 1982 holds two of the basin's marks at once: the greatest discharge of record, 7,650 cubic feet per second on 26 March, and the greatest gage height, 12.98 feet on 24 March…
- 1986–1988The takeover: the commission takes the branches, 1986–1988
The patronage system's end began in 1986, and it was announced as a service scandal as much as a political one: the Indianapolis Business Journal's retrospective states the sequence plainly…
- 1987–2020The anchor manufacturer: I/N Tek and I/N Kote — founding, peak form, and fate
The largest industry this town ever held was announced in March 1987, and it was a partnership between Chicago steel and Japan.

The ground's one percent-of-the-world class superlative is a sentence spoken by company officials to a magazine in 1990.
- 1990–2026Basketball whole: the sectional roll settled in part, and the coaching line to April 2026
New Prairie's girls' sectional championships stand in 1990, in 2000 — a title the IHSAA's own regional preview recorded as breaking a drought back to that 1990 championship — and in 2024, won under head coach Aimee Litka at 20–6, reported in April 2026 as the program's first sectional championship since 2000.
- 1990–2026The modern layer: steel at the edge, and what is arriving
Its first monuments are the steel plants of the town's industrial park country: I/N Tek, completed in 1990, and I/N Kote, completed in 1991, the joint-venture coating lines whose arrival the district-era record already noted as the town's modern industrial note, and whose corporate course stands in the businesses and spine legs.
- 1991–2026The marshal's department — from the ordinance book to Marshal Croymans
The ordinance record opens the modern course: Town Code Chapter 98, with its fee schedule for "police, case, or other Marshal's Department reports" ($5 per copy), traces to Ordinance 819 of 17 December 1991, and a Cumulative Non-Reverting Law Enforcement Training Fund stands from 1996.
- 1991–2026The community foundation: the county's pooled vehicle, and the New Carlisle fund test
The foundation, seated in South Bend (EIN 23-7365930), is carried in the secondary record at a 1991 founding (its directory listings) and at an establishment in 1992 (the philanthropy press, updated July 2024); the two tellings print side by side, unmerged, the settler being the foundation's own charter record.
- 1991–todayBroadcast: WUBU, 102.3 FM — the station licensed to New Carlisle — and the South Bend–Elkhart signals that serve the town
The broadcast test returns the opposite of the television test: no television station is licensed to New Carlisle in the records reached — but a full commercial FM station is, and has been since 1991.
- 1992The New Carlisle Historic District: twenty-four acres on a hundred-foot street
The nomination, measuring the street as it found it in 1992, records it at forty-five feet, and notes that even so it "is wider than the town's other streets."
- 1992–2000The historic district and the late-century town
The New Carlisle Historic District entered the National Register of Historic Places on 14 December 1992 (reference 92001653), on a nomination prepared by Glory-June Grieff in May 1992 and carried in the state's SHAARD record…

The monastery, at 32787 Early Road, New Carlisle (telephone 574-654-7994), was consecrated on June 19, 1994, the Feast of the Descent of the Holy Spirit, the Holy Liturgy served by Serbian Patriarch Pavle with several bishops.
- 1994–2026The defining closings, gathered: a flag stop, a paper, a schoolhouse, a pause
The flag stop, 1994: the South Shore's flag stop at New Carlisle ended — the railroad that had stopped here since the interurban age stopped stopping, and the corridor's passenger age closed with it (the transportation leg carries it).
21st century 22 dated mentions
2000s
- 2000–2010The 2010 step, and the boundary discipline it demands
Between 2000 and 2010 the town's count jumped from 1,505 to 1,861 — +23.7 percent, the largest single-decade gain since the 1950s — and this section prints the step with its explanation deliberately unassigned.

The present library — finished in 2002, in the library's own words — stands at 408 South Bray Street, a purpose-built building south of the old downtown seat, and the state's audited statements price what the move made.
- 2002The New Carlisle News: the town's last paper, and its disputed end
What it is: the town's twenty-first-century paper, founded 2002 (LCCN SN2002062421), and the paper of the town's recent memory: it is the New Carlisle News that carried the SARE project's article of September 10, 2010, with Susan Jones named as its editor in the grant report's credits.
- 2002–2015The New Carlisle News, 2002–2015 — and the Gazette's present state, answered
The town's twenty-first-century paper was not the Gazette; it was the News, and it has ended: the Library of Congress title record, read first-hand, dates the New Carlisle News 2002–2015, biweekly, described from Vol. 1, issue 5 (27 May 2002) and closing at "v.

Seventeen years before the title, the program reached the same game and lost it: the IHSAA's Softball State Championship Records Book carries the 2005–06 Class 3A final in its results table — Boonville, coached by Mike Wilson, 32–2, defeated New Prairie, coached by Tim Scott, 31–4, by 5–0…
- 2005–2022The money: examined to the dollar
The earliest figure this section carries is the library's own: a budget of $582,593 for 2005, stated in its staff manual — the Michigan Street building's last years ran at roughly half the present scale.
- 2005–2022The rebuild lands in the county: Walkerton, 2005 — and the consolidation of 2021
In 2005, under Commissioner Joel Silverman, the Bureau moved to close branches statewide in rounds.

Migley Field, 2006 — the Wiffle Ball ground the tournament's men built in the championship's second year, the New Carlisle Newts' home and the Hometown Cup's seat; the town's one purpose-built sporting ground, built by its players.
- 2007–2026The Salvation Army and the Red Cross: the named center, and the chapter's county share
On 13 March 2007 the City of South Bend announced a $40 million grant from Joan Kroc, heir to the McDonald's fortune, to build a Ray and Joan Kroc Corps Community Center on the city's west side — South Bend having been one of only ten Midwestern cities to pre-qualify, and the only one in Indiana.
- 2008–2026The president's line, from the minutes
The council presidency, as the minutes record carries it: Carolyn Higgins, elected president unanimously in 2008 and president in the minutes of April and August 2015, with Vojtko as vice president; then (Ken) Carter, president across the minutes of January 2016 to November 2017, Vojtko still vice president…
- 2008–2026The presidents, first to current, at profile size — as far as the record reaches
The checklist wants a succession of profiles, first mayor to current holder; a town has presidents, and its profiles begin in 2008, because the minutes begin there online.
2010s
- 2010–2026The modern booster claims: the billions, and "approximately 1,860 residents"
