History

The town of Central was plotted by William Smith in 1890.[3] It originally contained fifteen lots, two parallel streets covering 5 acres (20,000 m2) of land.

The church in the center of town was deeded its land from Charles Kopp in 1882. The original church then deeded in turn to the Missionary Society of the Churches of Christ in 1907.

Longbottom-Hardsaw, a business operating in Central, was built in 1947 on the corner of Central Drive SW and Heth Washington Road SW.

A Dollar General store is located at the northwest corner of State Road 135 and Heth Washington Road SW.

The Central Post office was operated from 1879 until 1999 when the area was taken over by the Mauckport and Corydon Post Offices.

Central had its own school from 1900 to 1945 when it was absorbed into the South Harrison Consolidated School District.

gollark: _continues futile attempts to optimize stuff_
gollark: getItemMeta returns a thing with stackSize, right?
gollark: Also, in that version there, patterns got fed in as a table with numeric indices from 1-9 representing each slot of the crafting table plus an optional qty key for how much the recipe produces.
gollark: Ridiculous. We *need* to be able to break maths in a snippet of code.
gollark: Here is a copy of the code I don't understand from the old version:```lualocal function descend(intermediateFn, terminalFn, i) local pattern = patterns[i] if pattern then intermediateFn(pattern) local pqty = pattern.qty -- Qty keys must be removed from the pattern for collation -- Otherwise, it shows up as a number stuck in the items needed table, which is bad. pattern.qty = nil local needs = util.collate(pattern) pattern.qty = pqty local has = {} for slot, item in pairs(pattern) do if util.satisfied(needs, has) then break end if patterns[item] then descend(intermediateFn, terminalFn, item) has[item] = (has[item] or 0) + (patterns[item].count or 1) end end else terminalFn(i) endendlocal function cost(i) local items = {} descend(function() end, function(i) table.insert(items, i) end, i) return util.collate(items)endlocal function tasks(i) local t = {} descend(function(pat) table.insert(t, pat) end, function() end, i) return tend```
