Named after Indiana�s first US senator; Noble County was formed in 1836; just eight years after the first recorded white settlers arrived and 20 years after Indiana�s formation. Settlements grew with transportation: a trail from Fort Wayne became the now-historic Lincoln Highway; the Sylvan Lake dam; built to supply a proposed canal; attracted author Gene Stratton Porter; and railroads arrived. Each time the population grew and shifted until the citizens voted to place the county seat in �The Center;� the geographic center of Noble County. Soon; Albion occupied the space; making it the smallest township in America. With 117 lakes; the Elkhart River; a state park; and numerous historic sites; Noble County became a destination for tourists; while Albion�s historical downtown area; centered on a century-old courthouse in a town carved from wilderness; stands in the center of it all.
