History of Rush CountyIn the early 1820s, Dr. William Laughlin donated 25 acres for a new town, Rushville. The town was named in honor of Dr. William Laughlin's teacher, Dr. Benjamin Rush. While Dr. Benjamin Rush never visited Rush County, his legacy lives on thanks to Laughlin's dedication to him two centuries ago. A portion of the land that Laughlin donated proudly holds one of Rush County's most notable landmarks, the Rush County Courthouse.
