A Roofline Story That Starts With a Railroad Bet
Fortville exists because Cephas Fort guessed correctly that a railroad would run through his land, platting the town in 1849; the Bee Line Railroad's arrival in 1852 proved him right, and the town incorporated in 1865 with 240 residents. That depot-town core has more varied, older roof construction than Fortville's newer residential growth further out.
