Seymour is a city in Jackson County, Indiana, United States. The population was 18,101 at the 2000 census. Seymour is called the "Crossroads of America" because the North/South and East/West railroads cross in downtown. The North/South line was built in the 1840's connecting Indianapolis to the Ohio River at Jeffersonville. It ran through the Shields farm at the area that is now Seymour. In 1852 when the East/West railroad was going to be built, Capt. Meedy Shields talked the surveyor, J. Seymour, into putting it through his land. In return he named the town Seymour. All trains had to stop at a crossroad, making Seymour a bustling community until the car became king. The railroad was originally supposed to go through the community of Rockford. It also lays claim as the "hometown" of world famous rocker John Mellencamp.

Located one hour south of Indianapolis, one hour north of Louisville and one and one-half hours west of Cincinnati.
