It was platted in the fall of 1830 by Ebenezer Purviance, John G. Jemison and Andrew Fleming, and was originally named Lebanon. When the Wabash Railroad was built through the area in 1856, it passed about a mile north of the community, and so most of the town shifted to be nearer the station. When the town incorporated in 1869 it was at the new location by the railroad, and the original site came to be known as Old Town.
