Located along U.S. 40 on the southwestern edge of Indianapolis, Plainfield town calls itself "A Community of Values."  In fact, the town identified 12 key values and recognizes a citizen each month that exemplifies the highlighted value.  Growing steadily throughout the 20th century, Plainfield and Guilford Township boast the largest population in the county today.  Five local parks include the largest township park in the state to provide a wealth of sports facilities and opportunities for recreation.  Playgrounds, tennis courts, baseball diamonds, and shelter houses are available for exercise and relaxation.  New business and industry continue to choose Plainfield for its proximity to the airport, while civic leaders expand quality-of-life options for the residential community such as a walking path connecting parks and neighborhoods.
