town, county seat
County Seat of Owen County. However, Spencer wasn't always the County Seat. The first County Seat was located at Lancaster, about half a mile up the river from the present town of Spencer on 150 acres donated by John Dunn. On account of a defect in the title to the land, commissioners were appointed to change the location.
Spencer became the County Seat February 12, 1820. First settled in 1820, by John Dunn, Philip Hart and Richard Beem, by 1849 it contained a Methodist Church, a Christian Church, four stores, three warehouses, eight mechanics shops, and a population of about 300.
