Introduction to Greensburg, Indiana
Greensburg, Indiana, in Decatur county, is 46 miles SE of Indianapolis, Indiana. There are an estimated 10,260 people in the city.
Greensburg History
The Indian Treaty of St. Mary's allowed the U.S. Government to acquire a tract of land that came to be known as the New Purchase in 1819. John Fugit and Griffy Griffith settled down in this region soon after that. The area comprising Decatur County was separated from this tract in 1821. Following the establishment of a court and consequently a government in 1822, the county seat of Greensburg was chosen. The area was named by Thomas Hendricks’s wife, whose home was in Greensburg, Pennsylvania.
