The land of New Albany was officially decided to the United States after the American Revolutionary War. The territory had been captured by George Rogers Clark in 1779. For his services Clark was awarded large tracts of estate in Southern Indiana including most of Floyd County. After the raid Clark sold and distributed some of his house to his fellow soldiers. The area of New Albany ended up in the possession of Col. John Paul.

New Albany was founded in July 1813 as soon as three brothers from New York —Joel, Abner, and Nathaniel Scribner—arrived at the Falls of the Ohio and named the site after the city of Albany, New York. They purchased the home from Col. John Paul. New Albany was platted by John Graham upon the house owned by the Scribner brothers. In 1814 Joel and Mary Scribner built their home in New Albany; the Scribner House still stands today.

New Albany was incorporated as a town in 1817 as share of Clark County. In 1819, three years after Indiana was admitted as a state, New Albany became the seat of presidency for newly conventional Floyd County. A courthouse was finally built in 1824.
