The population was 19,191 as of the 2010 census.〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=2011-06-07 )〕 ==History== In 1818, the land that would become Shelbyville was ceded to the United States by the Miami tribe in the Treaty of St. Mary's. Also in 1818, the backwoodsman Jacob Whetzel and a party cut a trail through this "New Purchase" from the Whitewater River at Laurel due west to the White River at Waverly. This trail became known as Whetzel's Trace and was the first east-west road into the New Purchase of central Indiana. Whetzel's Trace was cut just 4 miles north of site of Shelbyville and proved important in the settlement of Shelby County. Shelbyville was incorporated January 21, 1850, by a special act of the Legislature, according to county histories. Shelbyville was named in honor of Isaac Shelby, the first and fifth Governor of Kentucky and soldier in Lord Dunmore's War, the Revolutionary War, and the War of 1812. The city charter received at that time was destroyed in the City Hall fire on January 1, 1928. A railroad was built connecting Shelbyville to Indianapolis in the late 1830s, the first railroad in the state, that later expanded to connect to Madison and Jeffersonville. Allegheny Airlines Flight 853 crashed on September 9, 1969 near Fairland. Nearly thirty of the 82 people killed were never identified and were buried in a mass grave in Shelbyville.〔(Residents recall deadly plane crash near London )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Shelbyville, Indiana」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
