In 1813 three brothers named Joel, Abner, and Nathaniel Scribner arrived at the Falls of the Ohio and laid the foundations for New Albany, Indiana. They established the town below the falls, recognizing it as a spot with good commercial possibilities. In 1817 New Albany was incorporated as a town and in 1819 it was chosen as the county seat of newly formed Floyd County.By 1839 New Albany saw enough growth to incorporate as a city. It grew to become one of the largest cities in the entire midwest for the next fifty years.
This growth was fueled by the development of the steam engine and its incorporation as the power source of the riverboats which became the preeminent mode of transportation in the mid 1800's. New Albany became a center of ship building for these grand boats and many of the most prestigous boats, like the Robert E. Lee, were constructed in New Albany shipyards.
