Jackson County, Administrative county in Indiana, US
Jackson County spans across south central Indiana with varied landscapes including agricultural fields, residential areas, and industrial zones near Interstate 65.
Established in 1816 during Indiana's early statehood period, Jackson County received its name from General Andrew Jackson of the War of 1812.
The Jackson County Historical Society maintains records and artifacts that document the development of local communities from the 19th century to present day.
The county seat of Brownstown centralizes government services while Seymour, the largest city, offers commercial and medical facilities through Schneck Medical Center.
Jackson County's strategic position between Indianapolis, Louisville, and Cincinnati provides residents access to three major metropolitan areas within driving distance.
