1840s
- 1840–1880The Town Schools: A School-House in 1840 and a High-School Building in 1868
The town built its first school-house in 1840 — two years after the township's log house south of it — and a high-school building in 1868, where a graded school then ran under a named principal.
- 1841How old the fair is: two tellings, printed whole
The fair's own banner claims it has entertained St. Joseph County "since 1841," and its grounds history begins with a first fair in the county's early years — the agricultural-society line that Howard's county history carries through fairs at South Bend and Mishawaka in the 1850s and the Portage Avenue grounds to 1872.
- 1842The town cemetery complex: Eastlawn, West Lawn, "Old"
The banked spine dates "the town cemetery" to 1842, among the town's first things — and no carrier reached names who laid it out, a first burial of that year, or a founding act.
