Winchester, Indiana History Print

Winchester is the county seat of Randolph County, which is adjacent to Ohio in east central Indiana. European settlers reportedly first reached the area in 1814. The county was formally created in 1818 out of the northern portion of Wayne County, but the present boundaries were not established until 1824. The county seat was established at the Town of Winchester in 1818 and in 1893 Winchester was reorganized as a city.  Unless otherwise noted, the postcard images all date from around 1910.
