Madison county, named in honor of James Madison, was organized January 4. 1820, but did uot get its organization perfected until July 1, 1823. The connty lies in the midst of the best farming section of the state, and fell within the region where natural gas was plentiful for several years. The rapid growth of the connty in the eighties and nineties was largely due to its discovery and subsequent use for manufacturing purposes. The land area of the county is 288.000 acres.

DELAWARE COUNTY.


Delaware, named in honor of the Indians who lived in that section of the state, was organized in 1827, although it had been set off by the Legislature seven years before that time. The West fork of White river runs across the south central part of the county while the northern portion is drained into the waters of the Mississinewa. The county has an area of 250,880 acres and very little of it is uot capable of cultivation. The soil is a black loam and very fertile. This county was iu the center of the gas belt and the growth of its towns dates from the discovery of gas and its use in manufacturing. The assessed valuation of the county in 1914 was $33,654,945. It has 93 schools, 330 teachers and 10,985 pupils. There are 10 banks. Delaware is one of the very few counties to show a steady increase in population since 1860. At that time it had a population of 15,753, and by 1910 this had increased to 51,414. The county more than doubled its population in the two decades from 1880 to 1900.


Muncie, the county seat, had a population of 11,345 in 1890, 24,005 in 1910, and au estimated population in 1916 of nearly 34,000. It is located on the C. I., C. & O. of Ind., C., C., C. & St. L., Ft. W., C. & L., L. E. & W. and the P., C., C. & St. L. railroads. Interurban electric lines run to Ft. Wayne on the north, Port- land on the northwest, Winchester on the east, New Castle on the south, Indian- apolis on the southwest and Alexandria on the northwest. The city has the only uuion interurban station in the state outside of Indianapolis. It has three banks, one trust company, three building and loan associations, two daily newspapers, a high school, and four ward buildings, four kindergartens, Y. M. C. A. building and first class hotels. Its electric, water and sewage systems are among the best in the state. Its industries include the largest bending works in the United States, paper mills, iron works, engine works, steel mills, iron fence factory, fence machine plant. pole and shaft works, and factories turning out such a miscellaneous line of products as glassware, wiudow glass, lumber, wire, spokes, castings, caskets, auto- mobile parts, chandeliers, skewers, bicycle castings, silverware, lawn mowers, vacuum cleaners, nails, clay pots. flour, etc.
