Zionsville is a suburban town located in the extreme southeast area of Boone County, Indiana, United States, northwest of Indianapolis.

[6] Zionsville promotes itself as a tourist attraction, centered on its village-styled downtown area.

This area consists primarily of Main Street, paved entirely in brick, which is lined with small retail stores and restaurants.

Later, after his assassination in 1865, the train carrying Lincoln’s body passed through Zionsville on its circuitous route to his final rest in Springfield, Illinois.

[10] In the 1920s, the town was known as "The Dahlia City" due to the success of two nurseries in the area in growing the flower.

Starting in 2019, the Zionsville Cultural District brought the name back to promote the city, in conjunction with giving away free flowers to grow and the painting of a mural.

[11] Zionsville is located approximately 15 miles (24 km) northwest of Downtown Indianapolis.

[12] In 2010, Zionsville annexed 39.5 square miles (102.30 km2) of land in Eagle and Union townships.

[15] The climate in this area is characterized by hot, humid summers and cold winters.
