History
New Carlisle was originally known as Bourissa Hills. This was named after Lazarus Bourissa, a Potawatamie graduate of the Carey Mission who had been granted this section of land by the treaty that moved most of the Potawatamie to the west. It was platted under the name of New Carlisle, by Richard Risley Carlisle, who had come from Philadelphia, in 1835. The New Carlisle post office has been in operation since 1837.
The New Carlisle Historic District and Jeremiah Service House are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The Indiana Enterprise Center, a mega-sized industrial park located in New Carlisle, was the subject of a popular 2020 documentary film called "Prime Farmland". IMDB.
New Carlisle is home to the Honeysuckle solar generating station. The 188 MWdc thousand-acre solar project entered service in 2024. It is also home to an Amazon data center, which, as of 2025, is the company's largest. In December 2025, after ten hours of testimony, the St. Joseph County Council voted against an additional $13 billion data center to be built near New Carlisle. In a previous meeting of the St. Joseph County Area Planning Commission, residents had voiced concerns about water and electricity use of the proposed data center as well as safety concerns due to construction traffic.
