The city of Martinsville has a long history dating back to the 1800s when leaders agreed to name it the county seat of Morgan County, Indiana. By 1900, Martinsville was internationally known as the “City of Mineral Water” frequented by the rich and famous. The city has grown and evolved over the decades and is positioned for growth in the years ahead.

Martinsville is just minutes south of the capital city of Indianapolis. Martinsville has direct access to I-70, which provides access to St. Louis and Columbus, Ohio; I-65, which connects Indianapolis to Chicago and Louisville, Ky.; and I-74, which links central Indiana to Cincinnati, Ohio.

Currently, two four-lane state highways – State Road 37 and State Road 67 – serve Martinsville, making access to Indianapolis and Bloomington direct and easy. Martinsville is poised for greater growth in the coming years as state officials plan an extension of I-69 with exits to and from Martinsville. The I-69 extension will make it easier for Martinsville residents to reach Indianapolis International Airport providing access to international air travel domestic and international shippers and the network of major highways that crisscross Central Indiana.

The city has easy access to Indianapolis International Airport, which has recently completed a new $1 billion midfield terminal. With the expansion, the Airport has solidified itself as the 42nd largest airport in the country for passenger travel.

Indianapolis International Airport is also home to the second largest Federal Express location. Indianapolis is second only to the main headquarters for FedEx in Memphis, Tenn.
