HISTORY

New Carlisle was laid out in 1810, by William Reyburn; the first location was about eighty rods west of the present town, and was called York. In 1812, the present plat was laid out, and called Monroe. In 1828, the name was changed to New Carlisle, and the census of 1880 gives it 872 inhabitants. The village is located on the west bank of Honey Creek, about twelve miles west of Springfield, and about sixteen miles northeast of Dayton; the streets are at right angles, and the free use of gravel, which is abundant and easily obtained, has made them first-class. The buildings are generally good, among them some very fine and comfortable residences. The town hall, Odd Fellows' and Masonic buildings, and the churches, five in number, are good, substantial structures. The village was incorporated in 1832. Though remote from railroads, Carlisle has a very fair general trade; there are two fine stocks of dry goods, two drug stores, five grocery and provision stores, one general stock of hardware and queensware, one merchant tailor and clothing establishment, a bakery and confectionery, two harnessshops, two tin and stove stores, two furniture and cabinet shops, two hotels, one carriage- factory, one wagon-shop, five blacksmith-shops, one cooper, one shoe store, two shoe manufactories, two livery and feed stables, one agricultural implement warehouse, two millinery establishments, one notion store, two meat markets and two nurseries. New Carlisle is surrounded by one of the most fertile grain-growing districts in the world. Some statistics, recently collected, show an almost incredible amount of wheat, corn, rye, barley, flax-seed, potatoes, hay, beef, pork, sheep, grass seeds, produced in an area of four miles around the village. The soil is also well adapted to the growth of fruit trees, as is shown at the nurseries that adjoin the village, hundreds of thousands of which are shipped every year from this place and distributed all over the country; to both wholesale dealers and agents.
