Corydon’s early days and statehood era in Indiana
Corydon was laid out in 1808 by Harvey Heth on land entered by William Henry Harrison. A county jail and whipping post stood on the west block while a stone courthouse on the east block became Indiana’s first Capitol Building. The Territorial Capital moved to Corydon in 1813 and delegates drafted Indiana’s first state constitution under an elm tree in 1816. Governor Jennings moved there in 1816 with guests frequenting Corydon, and state offices later occupied a cliffside two room building. There is no record of the state owning Corydon real estate.
