HISTORY AND GENEALOGY
Dubois County, Indiana
This
county
was
named
in
honor of
Toussant Dubois, who had charge of the guides and spies in the Tippecanoe campaign.
The northwestern portion of the county is undulating; the other
portions level, and about one fifth of the whole is in the bottoms of White river,
Patoka and other streams. A greater portion of the county has an
excellent soil. Considerable portions of the surface are subject to
inundation with the spring and fall freshets. There are no prairies in
the county. Timber was originally abundant, consisting of walnut,
sugar, beech, hickory, poplar, and white and black oaks. The staple
productions of the county are hogs, cattle, horses corn, etc. Among the
material resources of the county, coal is abundant, andis already being
mined with success. Coal mining is destined to become one of the great
industries of the county, and will be conducted without injury to
agriculture.
Jasper, the county seat, is a small but enterprising town. The county
is making considerable progress in agriculture, mining and education.
