Jasper County
Organized in 1838
Named for William Jasper
Located on the migratory route of the sandhill crane, each fall tens of thousands of the large, beautiful birds stop to rest in the Jasper-Pulaski Fish and Wildlife Area, a habitat already teaming with wildlife. Composer James H. Hanley, writer of the songs "Back Home Again in Indiana" and "Second Hand Rose," was born in Jasper County. |
