The town of Mooresville, located just 15 minutes from the capital city of Indianapolis in the northeast corner of Morgan County, is the birthplace of the Indiana state flag. Created with a torch and 19 stars representing Indiana’s standing as the 19th state of the Union, Mooresville has created a mini park dedicated to Paul Hadley, the flag’s designer.

While residents have worked diligently over the years to preserve Mooresville’s place in Indiana history, town leaders continue to focus on the future. The town’s population has nearly doubled since 1990, and the new residential subdivision growth indicates that Mooresville will see population increases in the coming years. Mooresville has more than 125 acres of parks with a variety of programs for all age groups, an outstanding school system, and a major expansion of the public library.

Many of Mooresville’s residents are employed in Indianapolis, although there are service-related companies, as well as commercial, retail and industrial employers located in the town. Commuters travel to Indianapolis along the well-paved State Road 67, State Road 267 and I-70.

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

Industrial parks in the Mooresville have direct access to the airport providing a critical link to anywhere in the world for business and pleasure travelers.

The proximity to the airport also gives Mooresville access to the second largest Federal Express location. Indianapolis is second only to the main headquarters for FedEx in Memphis, Tenn.
