Jasper County, Indiana

Jasper County administrative offices are located at 115 West Washington Street, Rensselaer, IN 47978; phone: 219-866-4926.

Organized in 1849, the Jasper County [1] is named in honor of Sargeant William Jasper who died during the Revolutionary War. The documented history of the county is sparse due to two fires in the 1800s that destroyed nearly all of the county's historic documents.
