Early Carmel settlers Silas Moffitt and William Kinzer found the area to be abundant for hunting and the soil rich for farming. Quaker in origin; the town�s quest for importance in education was forefront and remains so today. With other dedicated leaders through a time of rapid growth in the mid-20th century; Robert Hartman and Dale Graham set the standard to make Carmel High School a respected rival in academic; sports; and extracurricular competitions. Beautiful art galleries; anchored by the Evan Lurie Building; dot the rejuvenated downtown Arts Design District where Colonel Trester�s blacksmith shop and O.W. Nutt�s hardware store once stood. A far cry from tented summer church revivals; world-class musicians and performers now take the stage of the Palladium; an acoustically perfect and visually magnificent performing arts center. Visionary mayor James Brainard seeks a sixth term and hopes to continue on the same path of growth and renewal. The city has been voted one of America�s best places to live; and Carmel�s varied and colorful residents have been proving this since the 1830s.
