Mooresville, Indiana
Mooresville is a town in Brown Township, Morgan County, in the U.S. state of Indiana. The town is notable for being where the current flag of Indiana was created. As of the 2020 census, the town population was 9,411.
Mooresville was founded in 1824 by Samuel Moore after he had bought the area for $2 per acre. The town is named for him. A post office has been in operation at Mooresville since 1826.
The Mooresville Commercial Historic District, Mooresville Friends Academy Building, and Mooresville Gymnasium are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The town was home to Paul Hadley, a watercolorist, who in 1916, had designed the current Indiana state flag for a flag contest sponsored by the Daughters of the American Revolution during the state's 1916 centennial anniversary. Hadley's flag design was adopted as the official state banner on May 31, 1917, and was later renamed to the official state flag in 1955.
On April 8, 2020, an EF1 tornado hit downtown, with significant winds around 100 miles per hour (160 km/h). From this tornado, a building on the southeast corner of Indiana and Main streets had partially collapsed in on itself. There were no injuries from the event. The building sat ruined for several months before being torn down. Due to the building's old age, the damages could not have been repaired.
On July 3, 2020, a group of 100 Black Lives Matter protesters marched through the streets of the town. This protest was met with quick counter protesting from a group of town locals. The two groups of protesters stood at a face off across the road on 31 S Indiana Street, with the situation escalating to the point where a small group of men camped out on a nearby roof of a business wielding multiple guns. Police at the scene were aware of the men with guns, but they couldn't do anything as the men were on their private property. The scene played out for several hours, only being held back by the police on both sides of the road.
In November 2023, the retail supermarket store Walmart in collaboration with Hasbro had released a Monopoly board game themed after the town of Mooresville titled "Mooresville-Opoly." This board game sold for a limited time at the Camby Walmart store only.
Mooresville is in northeastern Morgan County; the northern border of the town follows the Hendricks County line.
