Description
English: A historical marker along Main Street in Zionsville, Indiana. It reads:

Town of Zionsville founded in 1852

In the beautiful Eagle Creek valley of southeastern Boone County, a new town was planned on land owned by Elijah and Mary "Polly" Cross.

Convinced by Lebanon businessman William Zion, a director of the Lafayette & Indianapolis Railroad, the Crosses determined to located it along the planned railway. When his wife declined his proposal to name the town Marysville in her honor, Cross asked Zion, who had joined him as proprietor of the town, to lend his name.

The site was surveyed and platted in 1851 by James Mullikin, Boone County surveyor, and the Town of Zionsville was duly entered into the record by the proprietors on January 26, 1851.
