Owen County was established by an act of the Indiana Legislature, 1818-1819, but was being settled as early as 1816. Indiana became a state in 1816, and was settled from the bottom up by land-hungry, adamantly independent Scotch-Irish, German and English folk with Appalachian frontier roots, including veterans of the American Revolution and the War of 1812. Comrades of Kentuckian Abraham Owen, who dies in the Battle of Tippecanoe, named the county in his honor. Owen County’s first residents were prehistoric Indians evidenced by mounds, campsites and workshops for making stone implements, the relics of which exist in nearly every township. Development of the region progressed rapidly with the discovery of limestone rock beds, gravel deposits, and other mineral deposits near Cloverdale, Putnamville, and Reelsville. The National Trail (U. S. 40) and the onset of the railroad encouraged growth by providing employment, increased business, and eased the transportation of goods and raw materials. The Vandalia, Monon, and B&O Railroads played an integral part in the diversified development of the Cagles Mill Lake area. Today, over a century later, many of these same industries provide a livelihood for area residents who take pride in their resourceful heritage. Livestock and grain farms, forest industries, and limestone quarries contribute to the local economy. The railroad lines (under different names) are still active and important in the movement of area products. Let’s see the Indiana Golf Courses in Owen County.
