Plainfield Profile
Plainfield, incorporated in 1839, is a town that has become associated with Quakers. In 1858, when the Quaker's Western Yearly Meeting of Friends was organized, their house of worship was set up on Plainfield's Main Street. Although the original building burned down, it was replaced and the Western Yearly Meeting still takes place there. Today, the "Quaker" is the mascot of the high school. Today, Plainfield's population exceeds 17,000 and its limits stretch from the Marion County line on the east and past I-70 to the south. Cinergy/PSI, Galyans, Brylane, Brightpoint and the State of Indiana are major local employers. Approximately 3,700 students are enrolled in three elementary schools, a middle school and high school. The town's well-developed parks system contains more than 140 acres, mostly in an integrated system stretching along White Lick Creek.Location
