Howard County Businesses in
1882-83
The following material was taken from the Indiana
State Gazetteer and Business Directory, 1882-83, published by
R.L. Polk & Co., Indianapolis. This listing of local businesses
is important since the earliest known Kokomo city directories date from
1895 and 1905.

McNabb and the Howard County Genealogical Society. Also available in
