Plainfield

The town of Plainfield was once wilderness along White Lick Creek, occupied by the Native Americans. Some associate the area with Quakers, but they were not the first to settle here. To preserve some of its tradition, the Plainfield High School mascot is the “Quaker.” The U.S. 40, which bisects the town as Main Street, serves as the commercial center, offering quaint shops and eateries. Farming has long been a strong economical empire, producing such crops as corn, wheat, oats and soybeans. However, as more people moved to the area, Plainfield, along with Indianapolis, began to grow steadily.
