Fishers

The history of Fishers dates back to June of 1872, when Salathiel Fisher divided his land into town lots. The area was formerly known as Fishers Station and originally as Fishers Switch. The original names of the town are reminders that communities in this time period tended to be built along railroads and Fishers fell into this category. The Fishers Train Station, located in the heart of town, is home to the Hoosier Heritage Port Authority, the Hamilton County Convention and Visitors Bureau, and the Fishers Chamber of Commerce.

Residents of the area enjoy a high quality of academic education offered by the Hamilton Southeastern Schools. Both the junior and senior high schools are members of the prestigious North Central Association of College and Secondary Schools. The district has also achieved significant recognition for sports, music, arts and other extracurricular activities.

Community Hospital North, Riverview Hospital, and St. Vincent Hospital-Carmel serve the Fishers area. Complementing the hospitals is a wide range of health care professionals and medical complexes located within the community.

The business community offers an outstanding array of goods and services. There are now approximately 750 businesses located in the community ranging from distribution centers to day care centers and professional practices to manufacturing. Several corporate offices are also located in Fishers due to the area's demographics and potential.
