Tell City is a city in Perry County, Indiana, along the Ohio River. The population was 7,845 at the 2000 census. The city is the county seat of Perry County.

With 100 years of recorded history, the citizens of Tell City decided to honor the early settlers and the founding of Tell City with a grand celebration. That centennial celebration was held August 10-17, 1958.

After the success of the Centennial, the Tell City Historical Society decided to sponsor a festival in 1959 as an experiment to determine if the community would support an annual celebration. The festival, appropriately named Schweitzer Fest (Swiss Fest), was a great success. Today, the festival remains one of Indiana's longest running community festivals.

Tell City is also home to the Tell City High School Marksmen. The school is in Class AA for football and basketball. This past year the Lady Marksmen Cross Country team won the Bedford Semi-State.
