    Historic Significance Photo Source: Vegetable Market on Delaware Street, 1905, Indiana Historical Society Collection 33 Monument Circle District Preservation Plan 34 Monument Circle District Preservation Plan HISTORIC SIGNIFICANCE City Planning and Development Carved out of the Northwest Territory, Indiana entered the Union as the nineteenth state in 1816. The city of Indianapolis was founded in 1821 as the state capital, when the Indiana State Legisla- ture sought a central location for the city and appointed a committee to choose the site. Once the site was chosen surveyors Alexander Ralston and Elias Fordham were hired to lay out the city, which was proposed as a grid of north-south and east-west streets in a mile square plat. This plat was influenced by the Pierre L’Enfant plan for Washington, D.C., which in turn was in- spired by the royal residence of Versailles. Since Indianapolis was planned as a state capital, the plat sited the State House Square and the Court House Square equidistant from Circle Street (now Monument Circle), located in the center of the Mile Square. The Governor’s house was to be situ- ated in the circular lot framed by Circle Street, and the four city blocks framing the Circle were known as the “Governor’s Square.” Four diagonal streets radiated out from the far corners of the four blocks framing the circle. All streets of the Mile Square were 90 feet wide with the exception of Washington Street, which was 120 feet wide to accommodate its intended use as the capital’s main street. The sale of lots in the new capital city on October 8, 1821 reveal the street’s importance, as lots fronting it com- manded the highest prices.

    District Delineation Photo Source: Downtown Indianapolis, 1961, Indiana Historical Society Collection 15 Monument Circle District Preservation Plan Photo Source: Washington Street, 2012, Indianapolis Historic Preservation Collection Photo Source: Monument Circle, 2012, Indianapolis Historic Preservation Collection 16 Monument Circle District Preservation Plan DISTRICT DELINEATION BOUNDARY DESCRIPTION Monument Circle District is located in Center Township, in the center of the original Mile Square plat dating back to the founding of the city. The plat was composed of a mile-square grid with a circular street centered in the gridded plat. Four diagonal streets were designed to radiate outward one block from the circle street. Today Virginia Street is the only diagonal street within the district that remains. The district boundary is based on the Washington Street-Monument Circle National Register His- toric District, which was listed in 1997. It is generally bounded by East and West Ohio Street to the north, East and West Maryland Street to the south, North Delaware Street to the east, and North Capitol Avenue to the west. It includes the first two blocks of East and West Washington Street and East and West Market Street, and all four quadrants of Monument Circle. The boundary also incorporates the public rights-of-way of the 100 blocks of North Illinois Street, North Meridian Street, and North Pennsylvania Street, as well as the first block of Virginia Avenue. These rights-of-way are purposely included to preserve Alexander Ralston’s original street grid leading into the city center and maintain consistency of the streetscape views coming to and from Monument Circle.

  • Chapter 13: Marine Fisheries, Fisheries Management, and Florida Bay
    Chapter 13: Marine Fisheries, Fisheries Management, and Florida Bay South Florida waters have been attractive to fishermen for millennia. Some mar- ket fishing by boats from Cuba began in the eighteenth century. Commercial fishing became more viable after 1900 when sources of ice for preserving the catch became more reliable. Well-heeled sportfishermen, mostly from the North, began taking trips to the Everglades region in the 1870s, frequently hiring locals as guides. By the time Everglades National Park was authorized in 1934, both sport and commercial fishing were well established in Florida Bay and along the Gulf Coast. The dividing line be- tween sport and commercial fishermen was not always sharp. Many individual fish- ermen and the captains who guided them were in the habit of selling excess fish to fish house operators. Although they would surely represent themselves as sportsmen, when they sold part of their catch, these individuals were entering the commercial market. Operations by commercial fishermen in park waters proved to be one of the most contentious issues in Everglades National Park’s history. During the campaign for the park’s authorization, NPS officials came to understand that Monroe County interests would adamantly oppose the park unless given adequate assurances that com- mercial fishing could continue. The Service provided public assurances to commercial fishermen while internally acknowledging that restrictions on fishing would very likely be necessary in the future. To further natural resource management goals, park manag- ers gradually established limitations, culminating in a total ban on commercial fishing and bag limits for sportfishermen, which became effective January 1, 1986.667 Early NPS Assurances to Fishermen Park Service officials in the 1930s were quick to assure South Floridians that sportfishing was a long-accepted recreational pastime in national parks and would be permitted in the proposed Everglades National Park.

  • Millersville at Fall Creek Valley Village and Corridor Plan
    Millersville at Fall Creek Valley Village and Corridor Plan City of Indianapolis Department of Metropolitan Development Division of Planning Re-Adopted November 4, 2015 2015-CPS-R-002 Introduction This document is a plan for maintaining and enhancing the stability, livability and sustainability of the Millersville at Fall Creek Valley community. This plan is a guide for anyone making a decision about the use of a property within the study area. It is useful for property owners, developers, neighbors and neighborhood organizations, City staff and City boards and commissions. This plan will be used to evaluate rezoning applications, to project future population and employment concentrations, and prioritize capital improvements. This plan is also a comprehensive plan segment. A comprehensive plan is required by state statute (Indiana Code 36-7-4-501 through 512) as a basis for zoning and must include objectives and policies for future land use development and development of public ways, places, land, structures and utilities. A comprehensive plan segment is one part of the overall comprehensive plan for the county. The Comprehensive Plan for Indianapolis/Marion County is made up of over 80 segments. Two types of comprehensive plan segments are combined in this plan: • a village plan focused on the retail area centered on the intersection of Emerson Way and 56th Street and the historic town of Millersville, and • a corridor plan focused on Fall Creek and its adjacent neighborhoods. Previous Plan The previous plan of record for the study area of this plan was Indianapolis Insight: the Comprehensive Plan for Marion County, Indiana. This plan was composed of two components: a Community Values Component that contains planning objectives for the entire county and a Land Use Component that contains information about recommended land uses and environmentally sensitive areas on a township by township basis.
