Welcome to Charlestown’s website. We hope that it reflects the Spirit of this wonderful community. Founded in 1808. Charlestown is celebrating its Bi-Centennial Birthday this year by showcasing its rich history, community spirit, and plans for our future. Commencing as a trading post, today Charlestown has developed into a city that has become one of the best communities to live and raise a family in Southeast Indiana.

With many community events from festivals, block watches, neighborhood socials, school events, church and civic programs you sense the close knitted neighborly feel. We trust that you can see why our citizens are happy to: 

“Come Home To Charlestown”.
