Whitestown is a town in Worth Township, Boone County, Indiana, United States. The population was 471 at the 2000 census.

In Whitestown, Indiana, a new development is underway for a 1,700 mixed use community called Anson. While Anson [1] isn't a stand alone city, and is apart of Whitestown, it will be home to a number of new businesses, including Medco Health Solutions and ASILimited. In addition, Anson will include residential, office, healthcare and retail developments including a Lowes Home Improvement Center and Meijer stores. Located along Interstate 65, between the exits at State Road 334 and State Road 267, this master planned community is being developed by Duke Realty Corporation [2]. The north side of the campus is called AllPoints at Anson and is a joint development between Duke and Browning Investments [3].

It is named after Anson Mills,[4] a Boone County native, an accomplished surveyor, builder, civil engineer, Union Army officer, inventor, diplomat, and author.

When finished over the next 10-15 years, Anson is expected to directly employ nearly 25,000 people with an annual payroll of more than $868 million.
