Welcome to the Town of Cumberland!
The Town of Cumberland, Indiana, is located on the Historic National Road with about half of the community in Hancock County and half in Marion County immediately east of Indianapolis. Cumberland was officially platted July 7, 1831 and
named for Cumberland, Maryland, the east terminus of the Historic National Road. The Town is well known as the last stop over before Indianapolis. Cumberland has a rich transportation history not only with the Historic National Road, but also the
Town was a stop along the interurban to Indianapolis, and the Pennsylvania railroad once brought travelers and transported farmers crops and livestock.
Cumberland's historic downtown is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and has maintained much of its original small town charm, while providing the amenities of an urban area. Cumberland is just a 20 minute drive to Indianapolis and has easy access to major interstates and the Indianapolis International Airport. The Town is also served by the IndyGo bus system providing commuters an alternative.
The reconstruction of East Washington Street and a new streetscape are set to be substantially completed by the end of the 2010 construction season. The Town is also proud that the Cumberland Pennsy Trail broke ground in June 2010. The trail is along the abandoned Pennsylvania Railroad and link to the Pennsy Trail in Indianapolis and Greenfield in the future. Once linked, residents of Cumberland will have access, through the Pennsy Trail, to the Indianapolis Cultural Trail and Monon Trail. The Cumberland Pennsy Trail is also a part of the National Road Heritage Trail. Residents of Cumberland are proud of their Historic National Road heritage and are celebrating it through these wonderful projects.
