History
David Hockett brought his wife, Mary Jane, and three children to the Earlham area by ox team and wagon in 1865. They settled on 200 acres where Earlham stands today. By deeding a land string to the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad and selling a third of his acres for town development in 1869,[https://www.madisoncounty.com/portfolio/hockett-house-museum/] Hockett was instrumental in the founding of Earlham, when it was incorporated on April 26, 1870. The city was named after Earlham College, a Quaker college in Richmond, Indiana.
