It wasn't until 1838 that Anderson, Indiana received the official title as a "town." Shortly after that, its status as a town was lost due to economic hardships. In 1849, the community was once again crowned as a "town." That status was lost once again 1852 but 1853 yielded a fruitful, final incorporation of Anderson's "town" status, which has been active ever since.
