"Fishers" Fishers by bradbeaman

When I moved to Fishers in 1968 there was a population of 620. In 2005 the population of Fishers topped 57,000.

Fishers was founded in 1872 as a railroad community by Salathiel Fisher. It was also known as Mud Sock because of how muddy it became after a big rain.

Obviously the whole mud socks thing is just another rural legend.
