Madison County, County seat and administrative center in Indiana, US
Madison County spans across central Indiana with Anderson as its capital, marked by the White River flowing through its northern territory.
The county was established in 1823, and Anderson became the county seat in 1828 when John and Sarah Berry donated 32 acres for its establishment.
The county maintains strong ties to its Native American heritage through its namesake Chief William Anderson, known in Lenape as Kikthawenund.
Interstate Warehousing has invested $30 million in a one-million-square-foot refrigerated facility in Anderson, creating employment opportunities for local residents.
Natural gas discovery in 1887 transformed Anderson into an industrial center, earning the designation 'The Pittsburgh on White River' during the late 1800s.
