History
Hillsboro was platted in 1831.[1] The town was named for its lofty elevation.[1] The post office Hillsboro once contained had the name Dan Webster.[2] (Another Indiana post office already had the name of Hillsboro.[3]) This post office operated from 1851 until 1867.[4] A woolen factory was built on the south side of Hillsboro on the Little Blue River in 1840 and replaced with a larger one in 1852, selling yarn, cloth, and blankets.[5]
