History

[edit]

Dudleytown was laid out in 1837 by James Dudley, and named for him.[3] It was the third town platted in Jackson County. Dudleytown was settled as a center for trade in the Washington Township area. It was then located on a heavily-traveled thoroughfare between Louisville and Indianapolis.
