History

Jamestown was established in 1830, and was platted in 1832. The town was named for its founder, James Mattock.

The town served as the original county seat of Boone County until 1831 when the legislature required that the county seat be moved towards the center of the district. In 1869, the Indianapolis, Bloomington and Western Railway (Later the Peoria and Eastern) came through the center of town on what was then Washington Street. The railroad remains today as the CSX Crawfordsville Sub and is the mainline from Indianapolis and Avon to Chicago. Additionally, Terre Haute, Indianapolis and Eastern Traction Company operated interurban service through Jamestown beginning in 1912 until its demise adjacent to the Big Four railroad, the remnants still being visible north of the railroad right of way.
