History
Lewisville was platted in 1829, and named for Lewis C. Freeman one of its founders and afterward first postmaster. A post office has been in operation in Lewisville since 1831. In 1833 (when there was considerable inconsistency in the spelling of Indiana place names), it was described as follows: 'Louisville, a village in Henry county, on the National Road [U.S. 40], on the east bank of Flatrock, about ten miles south of Newcastle. It contains a small population, and one store; but has a prospect of rapid increase.' By 1909, it had a population of 503, more than 2 dozen businesses, two doctors, a newspaper, and a railway station.
Guyer Opera House was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.
