Bristol was
platted in 1835
making it one of the oldest towns in Elkhart County. Originally, it was two villages: Bristol on the east side of Vistula Street and Sydneyham on the west. Eventually, the two developers agreed on the name of Bristol, after some of the residents’ former homes in the U.K.
