On this day in Henry County history, Jan. 16, 1908, the first roller polo contest ever was played in New Castle at a North Main Street location that would later become well-known as the site of the city's Coca Cola Bottling Plant. The photo here shows that Coca Cola plant.The roller polo contest did not occur in the building pictured here; rather it was played in the building that preceded the construction of the Coca Cola plant at this same North Main Street location.According to the Centennial Edition of The Courier-Times, the game was between a semi-professional team of Muncie players representing New Castle versus the regular Indianapolis club. The Indianapolis team won, 2-1."The contest occurred before a crowd of 500 persons in the then-skating rink erected by the late Paul Jamison on the North Main Street site where the Coca Cola Bottling Co. is putting up a new plant," the centennial edition of the Courier reported.BASKETBALL LIVES HEREThis day in Henry County history is brought to you by Destination Henry County, Indiana.
