CITY OF MARTINSVILLE
The City of Martinsville, was founded in 1822 and is the County Seat of Morgan County, Indiana. From 1888 until 1968, visitors sought out the many artesian mineral water health spas, which were called "Sanitariums" for health benefits. On top of what used to be the National Sanitarium a refurbished neon sign still displays "Martinsville City of Mineral Water" as it did then. In 1899, Eugene Shireman, started Grassyfork Fisheries, giving Martinsville the nickname, "Goldfish Capital of the World." Some of his fisheries can be seen today throughout Shireman Estates Subdivision.
