Welcome to Jasper County
It is our privilege to introduce the 2019 Jasper County Indiana Fact Book, a production of the Rensselaer Republican and Kankakee Valley Post newspapers. We hope that this publication will serve as your guide to Discover Jasper County. Jasper County, settled in 1832 and named in honor of Revolutionary War Sergeant William Jasper, is strategically located half-way between the Chicago/Lake Michigan and Indianapolis areas. Intersecting highways, railways, and waterways allow for easy transport of goods. These abundant transportation resources paired with the area’s naturally rich soil make Jasper County a leading agriculture producer in Indiana. That leadership also extends to the number one agri-tourism destination in the USA, Fair Oaks Farms, located in Newton and Jasper Counties. Jasper County is truly a place for everyone to visit or reside! The county combines quaint small towns with developing cities. If you are looking for unique, up-and-coming downtown scenes or more rural experiences, Jasper County can provide both within a matter of miles. The Kankakee and Iroquois Rivers, along with Jasper-Pulaski State Wildlife Area provide ample access to fishing, hunting, camping, hiking, and birdwatching. Close proximity to metropolitan areas like Chicago and Lafayette/West Lafayette allows you to “Bear Down” or “Boiler UP” through accessing vibrant city life. Jasper County is a local art-infused culture mixed with unique shops, restaurants, breweries, and wineries. There is so much to discover when you live in or visit Jasper County.
The future for the county looks bright. The Jasper County Economic Development Organization (JCEDO) has been actively spearheading discussions on renewable energy development and environmental stewardship. JCEDO has been around since 1986 and continues to operate through the resiliency of our communities and the opportunities that we actively seek. As one of the few rural counties in the state with a growing population, we are primed and moving toward unprecedented growth in the agricultural, industrial, and residential sectors. JCEDO is poised to seize this momentum by: • Increasing opportunities and training for growing small businesses. • Improving relationships with and investigating potential growth in existing businesses. • Continuing to train, grow, and attract a strong workforce. • Enhancing tourism growth and community development efforts. • Building ever stronger relationships with the communities we serve. We hope that you enjoy the 2019 Fact Book and continue to learn more about Jasper County! Sincerely, Stephen Eastridge Executive Director Jasper County Economic Development Organization

Jasper County Historical Landmarks
The Jasper County Courthouse that sits in the center of the Rensselaer downtown square is not the first county courthouse. The structure of Bedford limestone, turrets, curving arches and gabled dormers is the third courthouse to house the county government. According to “The Jasper County Courthouse 1896-1996,” in late 1839, a log building was constructed in Newton (Rensselaer). In 1845, a second courthouse was built with a frame building, while in 1857 a third courthouse was built of brick. The third building was damaged by fire that started under mysterious circumstances on Jan. 18, 1865, according to the Historic Landmarks Foundation of Indiana website. It was repaired and continued to serve the county until 1895 when commissioners hired an architect from Fort Wayne to design a fireproof courthouse. Construction for the building began in 1896. County officials were able to move into the completed courthouse in 1898. Since then the courthouse has received continuous upkeep and in 1996 decorative painters restores original interior stencils, gilding, and a 16-color paint scheme in celebration of the courthouse’s 100th birthday. The roof of the courthouse was replaced in 2012 from shingles to slate, that is said to resemble the slate that covered the roof when it was built in 1896 to 1898. The courthouse was listed on the National Register of Historic Place in 1983.
The historic Jasper County Courthouse was built in 1898 and is still in use today.

Jasper County SWCD
Address: 211 E Drexel Pkwy, Rensselaer, IN 47978 Phone: (219) 866-8554 In Indiana, a soil and water conservation district (SWCD) is a unit of state government responsible for soil and water conservation programs within its county boundaries. The district provides a means for all interested people in a county to work together for natural resource conservation and development. It is funded through a variety of sources including county and state appropriations, activities, grants, and private donations. There is a district office in each county in Indiana. The SWCD belongs to the Indiana Association of Soil and Water Conservation Districts and they provide more information on the partnerships needed to be successful in conserving our natural resources. The official governing body of the SWCD consists of five supervisors. Three are elected (one each year for a three-year term) at an annual meeting of land occupiers held in January or February. Two are appointed (also for staggered three-year terms) by the State Soil Conservation Board based upon recommendations of the leadership in the district. Thus, selection of all five supervisors is based on input from the local people they serve. Identifying local resource concerns and addressing the needs
Page 43
of the community is a priority for the Jasper County SWCD. This is accomplished by conducting community meetings with the residents who best know the natural resource problems. After priorities are established the district looks for ways in which to address the problems. This may involve developing educational programs or applying for funding to implement conservation practices on private lands. Promoting a Healthy Environment by... Providing assistance to local residents for reducing soil erosion, conserving and protecting water quality, and solving other natural resource problems. Working directly with private landowners and residents, the district coordinates technical assistance to develop plans uniquely suited to their resource concerns. Providing information and education outreach to youth and adults, encouraging good stewardship of our natural resources. Contact the Jasper County SWCD office for more information.

Crossroads CASA
Crossroads CASA is a volunteer program through the Jasper Circuit Court that focuses on recruiting, training, supervising, and supporting community volunteers whose mission is to advocate for abused and neglected children in Jasper, Newton, and Benton Counties. CASA is the only volunteer organization that empowers everyday citizens as officers of the court. In an overburdened social welfare system, abused and neglected children often slip through the cracks and their thoughts and needs become unheard. CASA volunteers enable a child’s voice to be heard in court. While others may come and go, CASA volunteers provide that one constant link that children need in order to thrive. Crossroads CASA is searching for community members who

are willing to help the children in need . Are you ready to stand up for a child who needs you? Inquire today about the power you have to change a child’s life. Contact Information: 910 S Sparling Ave Rensselaer, IN 47978 Katie Hall – Director, katie. hall@co.jasper.in.us Phone: 219-866-0843
