About Carlisle
Carlisle is a town in Haddon Township, Sullivan County, in the U.S. state of Indiana. Founded in 1815, while the area was still part of the Indiana Territory, Carlisle served as the seat of Sullivan County government during the county's earliest years before the county seat was moved to Merom, Indiana in 1819. The arrival of the Evansville and Crawfordsville Railroad in 1854 helped establish Carlisle as a shipping point for the surrounding agricultural region. As of the 2020 US census, the town had a population of 625.
