1930s

  1. 1930–1964
    State Road 23 beyond the frame: no predecessor, a borrowed number, a late pavement

    The five 1917 Main Market Roads are all accounted for without this corridor (see the auto-trail article for the accounting); the 1927 numbering left the road unnumbered; and no pre-1930 predecessor designation was found in any record reached…

  2. 1930–today
    Corridors: State Road 23, State Road 4, and the tested U.S.-highway claim

    The number's history at frame strength: before 1926 the SR 23 number sat elsewhere in the state; the 1926 renumbering left it unused; in late 1930 it was applied to the modern routing, the National Register nomination corroborating at town level that the "designation of Main Street as Indiana State Road 23 in 1930……

  3. 1932–1981
    The Shamrocks surveyed: two conferences, one peak season in the papers

    The conference record, carried in the schools file at snippet strength and in the conference tables, runs the school from the St. Joseph County Conference — reorganised as the Northern Indiana Valley Conference in 1932…

  4. 1932–2016
    State Road 4: three roads wearing one number

    The designation history sorts the segments out: the pre-1926 southern SR 4 was renumbered away (the US 41/US 50 corridors) and the number lay unused from 1926 to 1932, when the Goshen–SR 13 piece was designated SR 4…

  5. 1933–1962
    The Gary Local: the last mixed train in Indiana

    The Gary Local began operation in 1933, when regular passenger service was discontinued on the Fourth District, and ran between Montpelier, Ohio, and Gary, Indiana…

  6. 1933–1994
    The centennial line — the birthdays the record does not show

    No celebration of any of the town's three birthdays is in the reached record — not the settlement centennial of 1933, not the plat centennials of 1936–37, not the incorporation centennial of 1994.

  7. 1933–2026
    The anniversaries that were not staged, and the festival that is

    The events file tests the point whole: no celebration of the settlement centennial of 1933, the plat centennials of 1936–37, or the incorporation centennial of 1994 appears in any carrier searched, across three passes.

  8. 1935
    The park as built fabric: WPA fieldstone, 1935 and 1937

    The Works Progress Administration developed the seven-acre park in two campaigns, 1935 and 1937, constructing the ornamental fieldstone entrance structures, a footbridge, a bandshell, a tool shed, a bath house and other fieldstone features, on ground along Potato Creek reached from Jefferson Street between Market and Mill.

  9. 1935–1937
    North Liberty Park: the fieldstone park the WPA built

    Its National Register nomination — read in the federal record for this section — tells the building whole: President Roosevelt established the Works Progress Administration in 1935, Indiana got projects under way that summer, and WPA crews built this park in two campaigns, 1935 and 1937, "using local labor and…

  10. 1935–today
    Crossings, cup, and sewer: the creek in the town's works

    The crossings of record are the park's: the Works Progress Administration's footbridge over the creek at North Liberty Park, built in the 1935 and 1937 projects the park's nomination catalogues, is the one bridge on the town's water that any carrier names…

  11. 1935–today
    The swimming life: a fieldstone pool in the town park

    The park's National Register nomination records that WPA crews in 1935 and 1937 outlined the swimming pool with fieldstone and built its bathhouse, alongside the park's entrances, steps, footbridge, and bandstand; the nomination adds five fish-rearing ponds in the park's corners, a common 1930s park feature, of which none survive.
