About Charlestown, IN

Charlestown was established in 1808, named after one of its surveyors, Charles Beggs, upon 300 acres (1.2 km 2), of which 3 acres (12,000 m 2) was designated for a town square. It was established one mile (1.6 km) northeast of Springville, and was responsible for Springville's demise. Milling was important to the town, as the first mill was built in the area, on Fourteen Mile Creek, in 1804. This mill would be abandoned when John Work built a mill by use of a tunnel in 1814. Today, that mill is part of the Tunnel Mill Scout Reservation.
