Putnam County was organized April 1, 1822.
Greencastle is the County Seat. The town was named at the suggestion
of Ephraim Dukes, one of the
donors of the land on which this County Seat was established, after
Greencastle, Pennsylvania, his native town.
Putnam County is divided into 13 Civil Townships: Clinton, Cloverdale,
Floyd, Franklin, Greencastle,
