About Boonville
Sitting just east of Evansville, Boonville is a quiet, friendly town of around 6,700 residents that serves as the seat of Warrick County. It offers a relaxed, small-town pace while keeping you an easy drive from the jobs, shopping, and dining in Evansville and Newburgh. Established in 1818, the town has deep roots, including a historic connection to a young Abraham Lincoln, who frequently walked here to borrow law books and watch courtroom trials.
The heart of town is the historic courthouse square, surrounded by local shops, brick storefronts, and tree-lined residential streets. Families have access to neighborhood schools right inside the city, alongside an active public library and nearby outdoor getaways like Scales Lake Park. Boonville is a comfortable, down-to-earth place to put down roots if you want a tight-knit community close to the city.
