It was the third town plotted in Jackson County. Dudleytown was settled as a center for trade in the Washington Township area. It was then located on a heavily traveled thoroughfare between Louisville and Indianapolis. At one time, the area housed two parochial schools and one public school. It currently has two Lutheran churches, one of which has a school. The township is split between two school districts: Seymour and Brownstown.
