Orange County, Administrative county in Southern Indiana, United States
Orange County spans 408 square miles of land with Paoli as its county seat and includes parts of the Hoosier National Forest.
The Indiana Territorial Legislature formed Orange County from Knox, Gibson, and Washington Counties on December 26, 1815, with operations starting February 1816.
North Carolina Quakers established the first religious building, Lick Creek Meeting House, in 1813 after moving to the region to escape slavery.
