Tipton, County seat in central Indiana, United States.
Located in an agricultural region, Tipton maintains a rectangular grid pattern of streets centered around its limestone county courthouse built in classical style.
Samuel King established the settlement in 1835, initially naming it Kingston before it was renamed to honor John Tipton, a Battle of Tippecanoe veteran.
The Pork Festival, held annually after Labor Day, brings together local residents and visitors for a parade, food vendors, and community celebrations.
The Tipton Community School Corporation manages education facilities on a single campus, serving students from elementary through high school levels.
In 1890, Tipton became Indiana's first municipality to implement brick-paved streets after local officials studied similar installations in Bloomington, Illinois.
