'''Newburgh''' is an incorporated town in [[Ohio Township, Warrick County, Indiana|Ohio Township]], [[Warrick County, Indiana|Warrick County]], [[Indiana]], United States, along the [[Ohio River]].<ref name=gnis/> The population was 3,325 as of the [[2010 United States Census|2010 census]], although the town is part of the larger [[Evansville, IN-KY Metropolitan Statistical Area|Evansville metropolitan area]], which recorded a population of 342,815, and Ohio Township, which Newburgh shares with nearby [[Chandler, Indiana|Chandler]], has a population of 37,749 according to the 2010 census with over 17,000 of those living in the town and adjacent areas.<ref name="census">{{cite web

}}</ref> It is the easternmost suburb of [[Evansville, Indiana|Evansville]].

The area has been inhabited by various cultures, dating back at least 10,000 years. [[Angel Mounds]] was a permanent settlement of the [[Mississippian culture]] from 1000 AD to around 1400 AD. By 1850, Newburgh was one of the larger riverports between [[Cincinnati]] and [[New Orleans]], and was the first town north of the [[Mason–Dixon line]] to be captured by Confederate forces during the [[Newburgh Raid]] during the [[American Civil War]]. Shortly after the mid-nineteenth century, Newburgh's growth leveled off until the economic boom of the 1960s and 1970s, resulting in substantial growth as a bedroom community for families looking for new housing developments near Evansville.

Today, Newburgh is locally known for its historic downtown district that features a number of specialty stores, antique shops, and restaurants along its riverfront. The town remains a popular residential community for people working in or near Evansville.

==History==
As a town situated on the fertile banks of the [[Ohio River]], Newburgh has a long history of human activity. Western explorers first arrived in the area in the 17th century.<ref name="Prehistory">{{cite book |chapter=The Mississippian Tradition |publisher=Indiana Historical Society |title=An Introduction to the Prehistory of Indiana | year=1998 | author=Kellar, James H.}}</ref> For centuries prior to that, it had been inhabited by the [[Shawnee]] people and was near the center of prehistoric [[Mississippian culture]] as late as 1450 A.D.<ref name="Prehistory" /> Evidence of this prehistoric society remains today at [[Angel Mounds]], a [[National Historic Landmark]], and [[Ellerbusch site]], both approximately two miles west of Newburgh.

The principal founders of Newburgh are John Sprinkle and Abner Luce. Sprinkle, a businessman of German descent, landed in Newburgh in the spring of 1803, thirteen years before [[Indiana]] entered the Union as the 19th state.<ref name="Historical">{{cite book |publisher=Indiana Historical Society |title=Indiana: A New Historical Guide |first1=Robert M. Jr. |last1=Taylor |first2=Errol Wayne |last2=Stevens |first3=Mary Ann |last3=Ponder |first4=Paul |last4=Brockman |year=1992}}</ref> He secured land grants in 1812 and in 1818 platted what became known as Sprinklesburgh (sometimes called "Mount Pleasant"). It was the first town in [[Warrick County]]. The original plat of Sprinklesburgh consisted of about 12 blocks immediately west of today's downtown Newburgh.

Abner Luce founded Newburgh almost directly to the east of Sprinklesburgh in 1829. In 1841, Luce's plat was merged with Sprinkelsburgh and the name of the town was changed to Newburgh.<ref name="Historical" /> However, it was Samuel Short's land, a strip on the block west of State Street, that now has some of the most visible and important land in modern downtown Newburgh.<ref name="Historical" />

By 1850, the town had grown to be one of the largest riverports on the Ohio-Mississippi River between [[Cincinnati]] and [[New Orleans]]. Much of its growth in this time period was due to coal mining and its beneficial location on the [[Ohio River]]. The first [[underground mine]] shaft in Indiana was sunk in Newburgh in 1850.<ref name="Mining">{{cite encyclopedia | title=Mining Technology | publisher=Indiana UP | encyclopedia=The American Midwest: An Interpretive Encyclopedia | year=2007 | author=Goode, James B.}}</ref> However, when the [[Rail transportation in the United States|national railway system]] came to southern Indiana, it bypassed Newburgh completely in favor of [[Evansville, Indiana|Evansville]], beginning a permanent shift in regional economic dominance.<ref name="Mining" />

According to a number of historical sources, Newburgh was a prominent stop on the [[Underground Railroad]] between the mouth of the 
Little Pigeon River and [[Lake Michigan]].<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.undergroundrailroadindiana | title=Indiana's Anti-Slavery League | access-date=January 24, 2013 }}{{dead link|date=February 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> On July 18, 1862, Newburgh was the first town north of the [[Mason-Dixon line]] to be captured by the [[Confederate States of America|Confederate]] forces during the [[American Civil War]] in what would come to be known as the [[Newburgh Raid]]. Colonel [[Adam Johnson (colonel)|Adam "Stovepipe" Johnson]], with a partisan band, crossed the Ohio River and confiscated supplies and ammunition without a shot being fired.<ref name="Raid">{{citation | title=Newburgh, Indiana Raid | work=The American Civil War. Family History 101 }}</ref> The Confederates would have been unable to shell the city (as promised) had Newburgh put up a fight. The Confederates' cannons were an assemblage of a stove pipe, charred log, and wagon wheels. The raid convinced the federal government that it was necessary to supply Indiana with a permanent force of regular Union Army soldiers to counter future raids.<ref>David Eicher, ''The Longest Night: A Military History of the Civil War'' (2002) pp 310-311.</ref> Many of the structures used in this raid are still standing, including the Exchange Hotel.

Newburgh's economy benefited from the construction of the Lock and Dam 47 in the 1920s, and its replacement in 1974 with the Newburgh Lock and Dam. The town also benefited from the arrival, and later expansions, of the [[Alcoa|Aluminum Company of America (ALCOA)]], built in 1957. Many of Newburgh's residents are commuters to businesses and industries in Evansville and surrounding areas.

In 1994, Newburgh leaders planned to annex large areas that would have extended town limits to Frame Road (west) and [[Indiana State Road 66|SR 66]] (north and east).<ref name="Comprehensive Plan">{{cite web | url=http://www.newburgh-in.gov/pdf/CompPlan.pdf | title=2001 to 2021 Comprehensive Plan for The Town of Newburgh, Indiana | publisher=Town of Newburgh | date=March 5, 2001 | access-date=January 5, 2013}}</ref> This would have given Newburgh the ability to plan land use for large open, undeveloped areas. However, by 2001, the town's leadership shifted its focus away from annexation toward planning in the well-established current town limits.<ref name="Comprehensive Plan" />

On November 6, 2005, the [[Evansville Tornado of November 2005]] caused 25 deaths in nearby Evansville. Newburgh suffered extensive property damage and some injuries but suffered no fatalities during the 2:06 AM tornadic event.

The [[Old Newburgh Presbyterian Church]] and [[Original Newburgh Historic District]] are listed on the [[National Register of Historic Places]].<ref name="nris">{{NRISref|version=2010a}}</ref>

Some of the governmental functions are handled through [[Warrick County, Indiana|Warrick County]] officials. The county maintains a [[small claims court]] that is fit for small, civil cases. The judge on the court is elected to a term of four years and must be a member of the Indiana Bar Association. The judge is assisted by a constable who is also elected to a four-year term. In some cases, court decisions can be appealed to the state level [[circuit court]].<ref name = inc2102>{{cite web|author= Indiana Code |url= http://www.in.gov/legislative/ic/code/title3/ar10/ch2.pdf |title= Title 2, Article 10, Section 2 |access-date=September 16, 2008|publisher=IN.gov|author-link= Indiana Code }}</ref>
