Batesville Area

Batesville was founded by George H. Dunn, who began a company called The John Callahan Trust Company, in 1852. The purpose was to buy land and create new towns. By buying new land, he could lay new railroads; Dunn was also the president of I & C Railroad. Joshua Bates, who platted the town of Batesville, is thought to be the source of the name Batesville. On November 1, 1853 the first train to run from Cincinnati to Indianapolis voyaged through Batesville.

Tipton, a small hill overlooking White River and the surrounding flat, heavily forested, swampy valley. The town was known as Tiptonia, named in honor of General John Tipton. On 20 March, 1821, the town's name was changed to Columbus. General Tipton was very upset by the change of names, and he moved from Columbus. Later in life, General John Tipton became the Highway Commissioner for the State of Indiana, and was given the job of building a highway from Indianapolis, Indiana to Louisville, Kentucky. Upon reaching Columbus, he constructed the first bypass road ever built. Mauxferry Road detoured south around the west side of Columbus on its way to Seymour.
