HistorikThe first county seat of Lawrence County was located at Palestine, situated on a high bluff near the East Fork of the White River. 276 lots were laid out in Palestine, which were advertised for sale on May 25, 1818. Steps were immediately taken to build a courthouse and a jail. The first courthouse of the county was log and erected in the spring of 1818. This courthouse was temporary, and steps to construct a permanent courthouse began in November 1818. ÖvrigtThe English name refers to Captain James Lawrence, who uttered the famous words ”Don't give up the ship.” after being mortally wounded during the War of 1812. Prior to Lawrence County's creation, it was organized as ”Leatherwood Township.” |
