Facts for Renters

• From the get-go, Brownsburg was very educationally focused. This town was the first to create a log cabin for a school. Soon after, many surrounding towns and cities took note and did the same, which made log cabins a common structure for schools. Prior to Brownsburg school, many were made out of brick. The institution was non-discriminatory, and had students between the age of six and 43. 
• Brownsburg was named after James Brown, the town's first settler. When Brown came to the area, it was mainly undiscovered. Only hunters and trappers would occasionally visit this barren place.
• Brownsburg first began as a township, and was later divided into Brownsburg and the Lincoln township, which was named after President Lincoln to show support for the Civil War.
• In 1848, the town hosted its first election. Ten votes were cast by men in the town.
