Editing Tipton, Indiana (section)

===Transportation===
In the mid to late 19th century, Tipton was known as being a very dirty and muddy place. Transportation was poor, with a poorly maintained railroad and "mud boats" being noted types of transportation. Mud boats were boat-like vehicles which were powered by [[oxen]] and transported people through the large amounts of mud in the area.<ref name="Pershing96" /> Flooding was also common during this period.

In 1890, Tipton became the first city in the state to have brick paved streets. Representatives from Tipton traveled to [[Bloomington, Illinois]], to examine that city's brick streets and upon returning to Tipton they commissioned 2 1/2 blocks of brick paving on Jefferson Street.<ref name="Pershing99" /> It was resurfaced with brick in 1914.<ref name="Pershing99" /><ref name="Pershing100">Pershing, p. 100</ref> Even in 1914, Tipton had more paved streets than any other city in the state.<ref name="Pershing100" />

'''RailRoads'''
Historically, Tipton had no formal railroad. Around 1850, a railroad was located in the area and was described by a visitor as being "the worst railroad bed I had ever seen." The train would stop anywhere on the line and pick up people, not needing a proper station. It sometimes did not stop, moving slowly enough that people could jump onto it.<ref name="Pershing96" />
