About Elizabethtown
Tucked into southern Bartholomew County, Elizabethtown is a quiet, small community situated just a short drive southeast of Columbus. The town was founded in the 1840s as a stop along the Madison and Indianapolis Railroad and was named after the founder’s wife, Elizabeth. Today, it retains that peaceful, small-town character, offering open skies and a relaxed setting while keeping the job centers, shopping, and dining of Columbus close at hand.
Everyday life in Elizabethtown is simple and unhurried. At the heart of the community is a three-acre town park complete with a playground, basketball court, ball diamond, and picnic shelter, giving families and neighbors a great spot to spend time outdoors. For newcomers seeking an easygoing, budget-friendly pocket of the Columbus area, Elizabethtown offers a comfortable home base with deep historic roots.
