History

Westville was platted in 1851, and incorporated as a town in 1864. It was a station and shipping point at the junction of two railroads.

Rev. John Milton Whitehead lived in Westville at the time of his enlistment as a chaplain in the 15th Indiana Infantry Regiment. Whitehead received the Medal of Honor for his actions at the Battle of Stones River when he “went to the front during a desperate contest and unaided carried to the rear several wounded and helpless soldiers.”

The Everel S. Smith House was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.
