Muncie was dubbed Middletown after a team of sociologists, led by Robert Lynd and Helen Lynd, initiated a series of sociological studies in Muncie funded by the Rockefeller Institute of Social and Religious Research. "The aim... was to study synchronously the interwoven trends that are the life of a small American city." (Lynd and Lynd 1929: 3) Muncie was considered a typical Middle-American community.
Ironically, a Henry County farming community with the authentic name of Middletown, IN, is only a 20-minute drive from Muncie, though it has no relationship to the Middletown Studies.
