Charlestown, Administrative division in Indiana, United States
The city stretches along the Ohio River with residential neighborhoods extending through rolling hills and wooded valleys spanning over 34 square miles.
The settlement began in 1808 when families established farms near the Ohio River, leading to official incorporation as a town in 1838.
The annual Founder's Day celebration in June brings together residents for parades, music performances, and traditional food festivals at the city center.
The city maintains multiple public parks, including the Family Sports Complex on Park Street, offering baseball fields, tennis courts, and children's playgrounds.
The local limestone deposits fostered a mining industry that supplied building materials for numerous 19th-century structures throughout southern Indiana.
