About Orleans
Founded in 1815 and named in honor of the Battle of New Orleans, Orleans is a quiet southern Indiana town full of classic Midwestern charm. At the center of everything sits Congress Square, a historic park anchored by a vintage 1926 bandstand and fountain that still hosts local gatherings today. Orleans is also proudly known as the Dogwood Capital of Indiana, thanks to community planting traditions that turn the streets bright white and pink every spring ahead of the annual Dogwood Festival. It offers an easygoing, neighborly atmosphere with a rich sense of local history.
