Randolph County, County division in eastern Indiana, US
Randolph County is a county in eastern Indiana featuring farmland, forests, and two major rivers that originate within its boundaries. Winchester serves as the administrative hub and is home to five separate school corporations serving the county residents.
The Indiana General Assembly created Randolph County in 1818 from Wayne County and named it after Thomas Randolph, who died at the Battle of Tippecanoe. From 1820 to 1824, the county's territory extended into Michigan, reflecting the shifting boundaries of the early frontier region.
The county hosted three settlements of free African Americans and the Union Literary Institute, an early integrated school founded in 1846. These communities reflected a progressive approach to education and freedom during a time of widespread discrimination.
Winchester serves as the main point of access for government services and public facilities across the county. The area experiences different seasonal conditions, so it helps to plan visits according to local weather and road conditions.
Fort Wayne's original town plot was recorded in Randolph County in 1824, even though the city eventually relocated to neighboring territory. This unusual connection shows how early administrative records shaped the region's development and mapping.
