New Baltimore is a small place in Posey County, Indiana. It is known as an unincorporated community. This means it does not have its own local government. Instead, it is part of a larger area called Bethel Township.
The Story of New Baltimore
New Baltimore was first planned out in the year 1837. For a while, it was a very busy place. Boats used the nearby river to transport goods. This made New Baltimore an important spot for shipping.
Changes in Transportation
Over time, new ways of travel became popular. Trains and roads started to carry goods instead of just rivers. Because of these changes, businesses moved to other towns. These towns were often closer to the new roads or train lines.
Population Changes
As businesses left, fewer people lived in New Baltimore. The town's population slowly became smaller. Today, it remains a quiet community in Posey County.
