21st century 54 dated mentions
2020s
- 2020Density and rank, dated; the metro, stated precisely
On the 2020 Gazetteer area of 2.23 square miles, the 2020 count of 1,891 gives 848 persons per square mile. On the 2010 frame's 2.08 square miles, the same count gives 909.
- 2020The town in numbers, with their vintages
The last census count is 1,891 (2020), and every other number in this article carries its own year. The decennial line — 1,861 in 2010, 1,891 in 2020 — stands whole in the Story of New Carlisle section; the town's own site describes "approximately 1,860 residents," a figure of 2010 vintage against the 2020 count, and both print.
- 2020–2022The fire territory: created 2020, expanded 2022
Two steps, not one: the territory was created in 2020 and expanded in 2022. The town's own fire territory page states that the "New Carlisle, Olive Twp., Hudson Lake Fire Territory was created in 2020.
- 2020–2024Composition: the modern snapshot, and the historical runs named as a want
The snapshot is the Census Bureau's American Community Survey, 2020–2024 five-year estimates, as profiled by the Missouri Census Data Center, and it is an estimate with an instrument and a vintage, not a count: it puts the town's population at 1,998, some five percent above the 2020 enumeration, in the survey's own terms.
- 2020–2024Age, households and income, in the same dated snapshot
One instrument, one vintage, printed together so no figure borrows another's date: the American Community Survey's 2020–2024 five-year estimates describe a town younger than its state, raising children at a rate its plateaued count conceals.
- 2020–2026The remaking: data centers, a battery plant, and a town deciding
The county established the Indiana Enterprise Center, an industrial growth area east of New Carlisle — the ground examined in the 2020 documentary film Prime Farmland .
- 2020–2026The marshal's office and the modern record
The marshal succession is carried whole in the government leg's file and at line strength here: David Combs was appointed marshal 21 July 2020; Brent Croymans was voted in 17 March 2021 and is verified in the minutes through September 2024, his 2025–26 tenure standing as that file's named gap.
- 2021–2025"Brent Croymans" — against "Richard B. Croymans": the marshal's name, tested at both settlers
The town's own minutes, Special Meeting of 17 March 2021, record the act precisely: "Vice President Kauffman moved to hire Brent Croymans as a full-time officer on our department," carried 4–0, President Samantha Rush presiding, Susan I. Moffitt attesting as Clerk-Treasurer — a hiring as an officer , not as marshal.
- 2021–2026The college champions across sports: one wrestler's course, and the test printed
Christian Carroll's course, from the college record: an Elkhart native who wrestled first at New Prairie — a 2021 Fargo Junior All-American at 220 pounds under the school's name, on the sport's own list — then at Jimtown High School, where he won his two Indiana state championships…
- 2023Softball, 2023: the first state championship in school history
The title entered the national record within the month: the Congressional Record of 13 July 2023 (Vol. 169, No. 120) congratulates "the New Prairie High School softball team" on winning "the 3A State championship for the very first time in school history," names the 4–2 score and Coach Hicks, and prints the district's…
- 2023Public poor relief: the trustee's office, and the county home
Its course ended in this decade: the county home closed on 31 July 2023, and the county's poor-relief line has run since through the trustees and the contracted agencies of the articles below.
- 2023Defining Players I: Robakowski and Geyer, and the 2023 Softball Champions Whole
Her 2022–23 finals-program line: a .589 average on 112 at-bats, 66 hits, 63 runs, 73 RBIs, 13 doubles, 3 triples and 23 home runs — the IHSAA's finals report repeats the 23 home runs, 13 doubles and 73 RBIs as team-leading marks, and the Congressional Record of 13 July 2023 (Rep. Yakym) states she "broke the State's home run record."
- 2024Baseball, 2024: the second title, a year after the first
The head coach was Mark Schellinger — the Congressional Record of 11 July 2024 (Vol. 170, No. 115), congratulating the team, names him in the office — and the names the record carries from the final are the pitcher Tyson Greenwood and Reed Robinson, whose two-run single is the game's remembered hit.
- 2024The Black community: the geography, worked — and the tested absence behind it
The population file's snapshot of 2024-vintage estimates counts Black alone at 31 persons, 1.6 percent of the town — a community at household scale, distributed through the town's ordinary streets; no street, block or neighbourhood is identified with it in any source reached, and no separate geography exists to draw.
- 2024Defining Players II: Greenwood and Robinson, and the 2024 Baseball Champions
Postseason honors: IHSBCA All-State honorable mention and Prep Baseball's 2024 Class 3A All-State team at pitcher.
- 2024–2026The modern water course — two plants, a county partnership, and a four-mile line
The standing system first: the town owns and operates its water utility — an East water treatment plant and distribution system, a Water Plant reachable at (574) 654-8050 and a utility emergency line at 574-217-6229…
- 2026Heritage: the losses, the law, and the counts at November 2026
The counts, at November 2026, as counts: National Register listings for this town — two , counted with their reference numbers and dates in the Architecture section (the district, NR 92001653, listed 14 December 1992, 24 acres; and the Service House line)…

- 2026The November 2026 cycle: the town's seats were on the ballot
Two town council seats were decided on 3 November 2026 — and their winners are not yet in this record.
- 2026Olive Township: trustee, board, and the assessor question
In November 2026 Miller, a Republican, stood uncontested for trustee, and the board race was numerically three candidates for three seats — Middlebrook (D), Batzel (R), and Creason (R), the same three incumbents — so the township's government continues either way; the three take or retake office on 1 January 2027, a transition in form.
- 2026The county layer: a district in transition
Only District 1 stood for election in 2026, and on the unofficial returns of 3 November, Bill Redman (D) defeated Baxmeyer 16,735 (58.4 percent) to 11,924 (41.6) — figures built from the Clerk's precinct summary and carried alike by the county's results coverage and WNDU.
- 2026The school seat: New Prairie United

- 2026Business Records: Open Questions
J. Smith's grocer-and-hotel) and at none in the town's 2026 roll; the years between — the motor-court era on the Lincoln Highway and U.S. 20 — are unworked; settler, the mid-century directories and the corridor record.
- 2026The people in office today
County Commissioner for the district, Brian Baxmeyer, holds the seat through 2026; Bill Redman, who won the 3 November 2026 election, takes it in January 2027 — a transition, printed as one.
- 2026Where the telling was filed: the archive, the schoolyard, the keepers
The keepers, named as keepers: the society, the library, the parish, and the schools — four institutions, all standing in November 2026.
- 2026The library today
The Indiana State Library's 2026 directory carries the institution in its present form: open Monday through Thursday 9:00 to 7:00, Friday noon to 5:00, Saturday 1:00 to 5:00, and Sunday 1:00 to 5:00 — a seven-day library, a thing many city systems no longer keep…

- 2026Sports Records: Corrections and Open Questions
Matthew Staples won the state title at 165 pounds in 2025 and again in 2026, the second at 39–0 — New Prairie's wrestling firsts as recorded (seventeen qualifiers, six placers, two finalists, one champion) are superseded by the sport's own later record, and any reprint of the firsts must now count two champions, both…
- 2026The service clubs at record size: the register's open line, worked
Third, the residue: a defunct club — a Lions club chartered and surrendered mid-century, say — would leave no directory trace in 2026 and could stand in the town press record alone; that read (the Gazette and the News, year by year) is the line's remaining settler, and the gap stays open to exactly that extent, no wider.
- 2026The sector as it stands: a directory state, November 2026
Every name on the roster is a South Bend or Mishawaka seat; the township's own standing entries in November 2026 are the older forms — the township trustee's relief office, American Legion Post 297, the parish at Terre Coupee and its school, the festival and society committees…
- 2026The newest arrivals, dated and stated without inflation
Stated without inflation, November 2026: the newest arrivals are a workforce at the fence line and an argument in the plan hearings; the community they may become is not yet in the record, and this article does not pre-write it.
- 2026Trains today: Amtrak through the night, and the freight that owns the day

- 2026The town's own parks: Memorial Park, Bourissa Hills, and the new Colfax Park
To these the town added a third in the present year: Colfax Park , a small lot at Cherry and Front streets named for Schuyler Colfax and dedicated in June 2026 — the South Bend Tribune 's account quotes the historical society's director at the dedication…
- 2026Historic New Carlisle: the museum in the old café, third home of the town's memory
The society's director, as the South Bend Tribune names her in June 2026, is Dana Groves; the museum's hours as listed are Tuesday through Friday 10 to 4 and Saturday 10 to 2.
- 2026Public art and the marker stock: murals, a highway panel, and two highways crossing in one sign
The newest piece of commemorative ground is a park: Colfax Park, dedicated in June 2026 at Cherry and Front streets and named for Schuyler Colfax — Colfax's own record is South Bend's to tell; the naming is this town's fact, and the park's course stands in Recreation.
- 2026The present scene, dated: who is working, showing and teaching now

- 2026Coverage today: the county seat's daily, the town's own website, and no home paper
That is what coverage of a paperless town looks like in 2026: complete, professional, and filed from fourteen miles away.
- 2026The town-fair test: no exposition, no fairground, one remembered racetrack
One sentence pushes the other way and prints at its own strength: the South Bend Tribune of 28 June 2026 writes that the town "has had a racetrack, a hotel, an opera house"…
- 2026American Legion Post 297: standing at 486 East Michigan Street

- 2026The economy and the major employers, as a named set

- 2026Schools and higher education today
Superintendent Dr. Paul White holds the office on a contract running 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2031, verified current in the board notes of August and October 2026…
- 2026Media today: a town without a paper, covered from the county seat
New Carlisle has no newspaper of its own in November 2026, and has not since 2015. The Gazette — the town's paper across two runs from 1880 — is not publishing; the town's last home paper, the New Carlisle News, ended on 9 January 2015 with its volume 13, issue 20.
