Noble County was organized in northeastern Indiana in 1836, and named for James Noble, a Virginia native who moved to Brookville, Indiana in 1811. At the time Indiana became a state in 1816, he was elected United States senator by the state legislature and died while in that office on February 26, 1831, in Washington, D. C.
Miami and Pottawatomie Indians were the county’s earliest known inhabitants. Most of them were forcibly removed from the area in 1838 and relocated to reservations west of the Mississippi River.
The first village was at Wolf Lake in 1832 on the trail from Fort Wayne to Goshen.
Many of the county’s earliest white settlers in (1830-1840) came to Perry’s Prairie near Ligonier. This area was free of thick forest and the soil was ideal for farming.
