History

Beckwith. Today the former mines are still an important natural resource; the pits have been restored into lakes, creating fishing and recreation opportunities at parks such as Kickapoo State Recreation Area. Williams and Beckwith drew up the first plat map; the city was named after Dan Beckwith at Williams' suggestion, although Beckwith suggested the names "Williamsburg" and "Williamstown". Beckwith was born in Pennsylvania in 1795 and moved to Indiana as a young man; in 1819 he accompanied the first white explorers to the area where Danville later existed because of his interest in the salt springs of the Vermilion River. With the closure of the mines and many factories, Danville's economic base suffered in the later half of the 20th century.
