Warrick County Profile

First organized in 1813 and named after the Battle of Tippecanoe hero Jacob Warrick, Warrick County originally encompassed all of present-day Posey, Vanderburgh, Spencer and Perry Counties, as well as a portion of Crawford County.  Though the county’s borders have changed, there are approximately 55,000 residents who now call Warrick County home.

The county seat, located in Boonville, Indiana (pop. ~6,830), has the distinction of being known as “Where Lincoln Learned the Law.”  Warrick County is governed by a three-member Board of Commissioners, as well as a seven-member County Council.  For more information about Warrick County government, please click here.
