Oolitic is a town in Indian Creek and Shawswick townships, Lawrence County, Indiana, United States. The population was 1,184 at the 2010 census.

History

Oolitic was platted on March 23, 1896, by the Bedford Quarries Company.[4] It was incorporated in 1900. In 1910, its population was 1,079; in 1914 it had risen to about 2,000.[5] Oolite is a type of limestone found in Indiana.[6]

Oolitic is the site of a limestone statue of comic-strip boxer Joe Palooka, moved there from Bedford in 1984.[7]

Oolitic is the opposing basketball team during the season opener in the film Hoosiers.

Geography

According to the 2010 census, Oolitic has a total area of 0.78 square miles (2.02 km2), all land.[8]

Climate

The climate in this area is characterized by hot, humid summers and generally mild to cool winters. According to the Köppen Climate Classification system, Oolitic has a humid subtropical climate, abbreviated "Cfa" on climate maps.[9]

Geology

The town is built upon oolitic limestone, which gives the town's name. The town was founded for the purpose of quarrying this material, for building purposes.

Oolitic was originally platted as "Limestone" on September 26, 1888. In 1896, the name was sent to Washington, D.C., to allow a post office to be established. The request was refused because of a town already named Limestone, Indiana. Doctor R. B. Short suggested using "Oolitic", and Oolitic became incorporated on November 4, 1901. The word Oolitic was used as an adjective for oolitic limestone (derived from the Greek word oolite, meaning eggs and stone). Limestone is a sedimentary rock composed of calcium carbonate, magnesium carbonate and quartz, along with the small shells and eggs left behind when this area was covered by an inland sea. Found immediately north of Oolitic are some of the largest limestone quarries in the world, many of them in continuous operation since the 1830s. Many famous buildings have been built from local oolitic limestone, including the Empire State Building.[10] Visitors can see the "Empire Hole," about half a mile north of Oolitic, where 35,017,500 pounds of limestone block were extracted in 1931 and shipped to Manhattan for the 102-story building.[11] The Empire Hole was also the source of the stone used in the Empire State Building’s 2001 renovations.[12]
