A Greenwood, IN based General Contractor asked our TRADITION LIEN SERVICE division to record a INDIANA Sworn Statement And Notice Of Intention To Hold Mechanic’s Lien against a existing residential property in New Palestine, IN being repaired as the result of an insurance claim within Hancock County. Wikipedia quotes that “… after the towns incorporation, the town had difficulty with its name. The post office was known as Sugar Creek, the railroad and express stations as Palestine and the name of the town itself was New Palestine. Through the efforts of E.F. Faut and Congressman Bynum, the name of the post office was changed from Sugar Creek to New Palestine on January 16, 1889, and the name of the railroad station and express office were also changed to New Palestine..
