The Town of Westfield

The city is located just a mere 20 miles north of Indianapolis with the zip code 46074 and is part of the 8 Great Towns movement of Hamilton County. It was founded by Quakers from North Carolina in 1834. Here, the rich history of the Quaker people is documented on several landmarks across the city, including Asa Bales Park. Along with its Quaker roots, a staunch anti-slavery movement began in Westfield, making it a leading facilitator of the Underground Railroad.
