Corydon, Indiana
Corydon, Madison and Jeffersonville all wanted to be the new capital of the territory, but Corydon was more central to the population of the newly reorganized Indiana Territory. Corydon became the second capital of the Indiana Territory on May 1, 1813, when it was moved there from Vincennes.  When Indiana became the 19th US state on 11 December 1816, Corydon became the state capital of Indiana.  The first state capitol building made using limestone from a nearby quarry, was built from 1814-1816.  The Governor's Mansion and First State Office Building were built in 1817. The Grand Masonic Lodge, the first in the state, was built in 1819.
