Fayette County, County seat in southeastern Indiana, United States
Fayette County extends across rolling terrain with the Whitewater River flowing through its central region, creating natural corridors for wildlife and recreation.
The county, established in 1818, grew substantially after the completion of the Whitewater Canal in 1847, which enhanced transportation and commerce.
The Fayette County Historical Museum preserves artifacts and documents from the region's past, including items from Native American settlements and early European pioneers.
Connersville serves as the administrative center for Fayette County, housing government offices, courts, and essential public services for 13,324 residents.
During World War II, Connersville manufactured military vehicle bodies, earning it the designation as an industrial production center for defense equipment.
