Jefferson County, Administrative county in southeastern Indiana, United States

The county, established in 1810 and named after President Thomas Jefferson, emerged from sections of Clark and Dearborn counties in Indiana Territory.
The Jefferson County Courthouse in Madison combines federal and Greek revival architecture elements, reflecting early 19th-century governmental building designs.
