Discover West Lafayette
In 1836 Augustus Wylie laid out a town on the Wabash River floodplain south of the present Levee, but because the site flooded regularly it was never built. The present city grew from three adjacent suburban villages on a bluff across the river from Lafayette: Kingston, laid out by Jesse B. Lutz in 1855, Chauncey, platted in 1860 by the Chauncey family, wealthy Philadelphia land speculators, and Oakwood. Chauncey and Kingston formed a single government in 1866 under the name Chauncey.
More about West Lafayette
Chauncey remained a small village until Purdue University opened in 1869. In 1871 it voted to be annexed by Lafayette because it could not provide improved streets, waterworks or police and fire protection, but Lafayette refused because of the cost. In May 1888, after a petition signed by 152 voters, Chauncey changed its name to West Lafayette, and the merger with Oakwood and Kingston formed the present city, as the university's growth drove the town's. Purdue's address was given as Lafayette, Indiana, until well into the 20th century. West Lafayette never had a railroad depot and lagged behind Lafayette in municipal services for some years, but it has since become a separate city with its own services and neighborhoods.
