== History ==
Hazleton is the second-oldest town in Gibson County after Princeton. It was named in honor of Gervas Hazleton, the second settler in the county to permanently locate, after John Severns. Hazleton first lived in a "camp," the back of which was an immense walnut log and sides of poles covered with bark, the front open to admit the heat and light of large log fires. Hazleton eventually operated a ferry on the White River. His remains are buried in the IOOF Hazleton cemetery.
The town of Hazleton was surveyed and platted by Lucius French in 1806. T. S. Fuller erected the first frame building in Hazleton. In about John Breedlove built a blacksmith shop. Being located on the south bank of White River, the town became a port in the days of flat and keel-boats.
The highway of travel was via the Patoka, Wabash, Ohio and Mississippi rivers and five or six weeks were required to make the round trip. A complement of five men was the usual number required with each boat. The first steamboat of any note to pass up White River was the "Cleopatria".
