ESTABLISHMENT OF THE COUNTY SEAT.

   In accordance with the provisions of the above enactment, the Locating
Commissioners named above, except Mr. Wilson, met, and after viewing the various
eligible sites and taking into consideration the donations of land, money,
services, etc., finally located the county seat on the east fraction of the
southwest quarter of Section 31, Township 22 north, Range 7 west; receiving from
George Hollingsworth and Enoch Farmer, in consideration of the location of the
county seat upon such tract of land, certain obligations to donate to the county
specified lands named within the papers, after the county seat had been
permanently located on such land, and receiving, also, from certain citizens of
Warren and Fountain Counties, for the same consideration, two obligations,
conditioned that certain sums of money would be paid the county of Warren when
the stake for the county seat had been permanently fixed. This report of the
Locating Commissioners was presented to the Board of Justices, in March, 182 3,
and formally accepted, and the Commissioners were ordered paid and discharged.
Immediately after this, the county seat was laid off on the land above
described, and was named Warrenton. The details will be found elsewhere in this
volume.
