Noblesville is a city in the north Indianapolis suburbs of Indiana. Located along the White River, it is also the county seat of Hamilton County. The city got its start with a land purchase made by the government from the Native Americans in the area in 1818. Before then, the area was settled by William Conner and his wife, Mekinges Conner. In 1802, they lived in the area's first log cabin and established central Indiana's first trading post. In 1823, Conner, along with Josiah Polk, laid out the area that is now downtown Noblesville. The following year, it was designated as the county seat of Hamilton County. Noblesville is said to be named after James Noble, one of the first U.S. senators from Indiana, or Lavina Noble of Indianapolis, a woman Polk was engaged to.
In 1851, the Town of Noblesville was incorporated. That same year, Peru and Indianapolis Railroad was completed through the town. In 1875, the second railroad for the area, the Anderson, Lebanon and St. Louis, began construction. Noblesville was incorporated as a city in 1887. In 1888, with the discovery of Noblesville's first natural gas well, the first large growth period for the city occurred. Its downtown commercial district, as well as its many Victorian homes, were built during this time.
In the 1900s, the city was known for its flour mills. The most notable business in the city was the producer of Diadem and Kismet flours, the Noblesville Milling Company. National attention was drawn to Noblesville during the 1925 Stephenson trial of D. C. Stephenson, the former Grand Dragon of the Indiana Ku Klux Klan. Convicted of second-degree murder, this broke the power of the Klan in Indiana.
As of the 2019 estimate, Noblesville has a population of 64,668 people and a total area of 32.785 square miles. Situated in the townships of Delaware, Noblesville, Fall Creek and Wayne, it is bordered by Cicero to the north, Fishers and Carmel to the south, and Westfield to the west.
The establishments that pay homage to the beginnings of the city are the Hamilton County Courthouse and Hamilton County Sheriff's Residence and Jail. Located in Courthouse Square, the centerpiece of downtown Noblesville, they are of the Second Empire architectural style and feature mansard roofs. Other historically notable landmarks and buildings of the city are:
These historic sites have all been individually added to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP).
