In 1833, David Anthony, Joseph Hadley, William Pickett, and Jesse Beals became the first recorded American pioneers to permanently inhabit the region that is near/at the present site of Deming, Indiana. Later that same year, Hansil Bartholomew, Peter Lowrance, Jacob Hadley, William Ramsey, Levi Cook, Elihu Pickett, James Fisher, Jacob Crull, Joseph Moon, John Countryman, Daniel Lane, Samuel Pickerill, Squire Tucker, and John Hatfield also settled in the area. From then on, a steady stream of pioneers trickled into the community. During this time the Land Office of Indianapolis, which was managed by the General Land Office, sold land in the locality in 40-acre blocks for $1.25 an acre. This early wave of settlement ended with the Panic of 1837 and the subsequent failure of the Indiana Mammoth Internal Improvement Act.
