"The road between Muncie and Richmond, one of the earliest and most traveled highways of the county, passed through Perry township, along the line of the New Burlington pike. Houses of entertainment, taverns or inns as they were called, were numerous along this route, and occasionally a village grew up around such a house...Where the road crosses section 8 of Perry township, George Ribble had plated a village in the thirties, and at that point was located the first post office of the township, John Newcomb offered the first stock of goods...These sum up the chief interest of New Burlington during its early history. With the building of the railroad through Perry township, New Burlington lost most of its prestige. " [S1, p 101] |
