Historical Note
Bartholomew County, named in honor of General Joseph Bartholomew, was created by an act of the General Assembly on January 9, 1821. At this time County Commissioners selected an area within the county known as “Tipton” as the county seat. This name was later changed to Columbus. The town was incorporated on April 15, 1837. A city government was organized in June, 1864, and the first city election took place on October 24 of that same year.
