Whitestown is a town in Boone County, Indiana, United States. The population was 2,867 at the 2010 census. The town is located along Interstate 65, approximately 22 miles (35 km) northwest of Downtown Indianapolis between the exits for State Roads 334 (exit 130) and 267 (exit 133).
Whitestown was laid out in 1851 when the railroad was extended to that point. It was likely named for Albert Smith White, a U.S. Senator from Indiana. The first post office in Whitestown was established in 1853.
In the late 2000s, Whitestown annexed 6,500 acres south of the historic downtown district. A master planned, mixed-use development named for U.S. Army officer and Boone County native Anson Mills was established in this area in 2005. The Great Recession adversely impacted the Anson project's original construction schedule, but residential, retail, and commercial growth gained momentum starting in 2011 and continues to this day.
Whitestown is currently the fastest growing municipality in Indiana, having nearly doubled in population between 2010 and 2015.
