Noblesville, Indiana
Encyclopedia
Noblesville is a city in and the county seat
of Hamilton County
, Indiana
, United States
, located just north of Indianapolis
. The population was 51,969 at the 2010 census making it the 14th largest city/town in the state, up from 19th in 2007. The city is part of Delaware
, Fall Creek
, Noblesville
, and Wayne
townships.
Noblesville is also home to the Klipsch Music Center
, an outdoor music venue, and the Indiana Transportation Museum
.
, the only settler living in the area at the time, and his wife, a Delaware Indian
, established the first trading post in central Indiana in 1802 and lived in the first log cabin in the area. William Conner and Josiah Polk laid out what is now downtown Noblesville in 1823, which was designated as the Hamilton County seat in 1824 and in corporated in 1851. Conner's 1823 home is now one of a village of historic buildings making up Conner Prairie Pioneer Settlement
, a living history museum south of Noblesville in Fishers
.
Noblesville was named either for James Noble, a state senator, or according to legend, for Lavinia Noble of Indianapolis, to whom Josiah was engaged. The Peru and Indianapolis Railroad was completed through town in 1851, strengthening the town economically and causing the population to increase.
These two stories are the most likely namesakes for the city, but another local rumor says that perhaps a great woman named Kate O'linn once visited the town. The town was so impacted by her noble composure and lifestyle, they immediately changed the name of the city in her honor. This is just a rumor, but many of the older members (a.k.a. most trustworthy) swear by it.
The city's first large growth boom came in 1888 with the discovery of Noblesville's first natural gas well near 11th and Pleasant streets. Many Victorian homes, as well as the vast majority of the Downtown Commercial District, were built during this time of prosperity. The city's second large growth was particularly recent increasing its population from 28,590 in 2000 to 51,969 in 2010. This growth echos the increase in population of much of southern Hamilton County as a preferable place for people to live who enjoy a close proximity to the Indianapolis area.
Just as the rest of Indiana Noblesville has some remnants of the past that are not exactly attractive but important historically nonetheless. In 1995, a large trunk was discovered in an abandoned barn. The trunk contained over 1,000 membership cards and dues receipts revealing the names of citizens of the local chapter of the Invisible Empire of the Ku Klux Klan
, as well as hoods, sashes and other equipment, according to Allen Safianow, professor of history at Indiana University

In the lead article in the June issue of the Indiana Magazine of History
, Safianow describes in detail the effects of the discovery. They ranged from calls for public disclosure of the names to comments that the finder of the trunk, a local building contractor named Don Roberts, should have burned its contents and kept his discovery secret. Instead, Roberts donated all of the Klan materials to the Hamilton County Historical Society, where they are preserved as a valuable resource for those seeking a better understanding of the Klan's operations in Indiana.
"You can't burn history," Roberts said later in explaining his decision. "That's what is wrong today. Too many people are trying to bury history, and history is history. You may have liked to change it, but it's gone, it's behind us."
Despite the strong KKK presence in Noblesville from the 1910s through 1930s, the Noblesville courthouse was the site of the 1925 trial of Ku Klux Klan Grand Dragon D. C. Stephenson
, leader of the Indiana Klan
, who kidnapped and raped an Indianapolis
Statehouse secretary. He was found guilty and given the maximum prison sentence. Upon realizing his political allies would not come to his aid, he started revealing everyone's dirty laundry. The scandal resulted in the indictment
of many Indiana politicians, including Governor Ed Jackson.http://www.centerforhistory.org/indiana_history_main7.html
