History of Danville

In 1824, four men combined 20 acres each of their own land and created the town of Danville. It was incorporated in 1858 and, according to the Polk Directory published in 1882, was “a pleasant town of 2,000 inhabitants, containing good county buildings, 6 churches, a graded school, a good college, one hotel, and 2 banks,” (Indiana State Gazetteer & Business Directory, 1882-83 R.L. Polk & Co.). Although Danville has come a long way since that description in 1882, one fact still remains -- it is a pleasant town!

Danville now has 8,000+ residents served by the Danville Community School Corporation. The city has  2 elementary schools, 1 middle and 1 high school, a public library, a local newspaper as well as the superb Hendricks Regional Hospital.
