Armstrong
AKA: Crossroads / Cross Roads, Armstrong Crossroads / Armstrong Cross Roads, Armstrong Station
Though it shares the name of its township it, Armstrong shares the name of the township its in, though it was originally it was a unique town ? It originally appears in the 1871 atlas centered at the intersection of Cynthiana Rd and Boonville-New Harmony Rd. In the 1876 atlas, the town was labelled as Crossroads
In 1881, the Peoria Decatur & Evansville Railroad built through the area with a crossing near where Armstrong Rd T's into Cynthiana Rd. By the time the 1899 atlas was completed, the map shows Armstrong centered at this train stop showing the railroad's influence on the town.
Today, a little commercial building is all that remains of Armstrong, and the city limit signs, located immedaitely on either side of the tracks, indicate how small of a town it was. The Armstrong Community Center, and the school it used to be, is tied to the township and not the town itself.

Baptisttown was the
name given to the surrounding neighborhood (now substanitally leveled) where
Evansville\'s largest black community settled.
Liberty Baptist is the oldest extant black congregation in Evansville. As immigrants
settled primarily around the church, the area became known as "Baptist Town." The church
provided leadership in the religious, social, and political life of the city’s black community.

Originally platted as the city of Lamasco, Independence
traces its roots back to 1836. However, when Lamasco and Evansville merged in
1857, the section of the city west of Pigeon Creek retained its independence.
The new city, aptly named Independence, extended from Pigeon Creek to St Joe
Ave and from the Ohio River to Marlyand St. The town eventually was annexed by
the city in 1870, but retains its distinct identity.
