The municipality was platted in 1849 under the name Lanesville but other names were tried because there was already another Lanesville in Indiana. The name Jamestown, in honor of the town's founder James White, was used for a while, but in 1866 the Marion County Commissioners approved the name Lawrence, which is also the name of the township in which it is located.
Lawrence was named after the naval hero of the War of 1812, Captain James Lawrence In 1929 the citizens of Lawrence voted to become an independent town, where they first established the town marshal, as well as other parts of government. In 1969, Indianapolis and Marion County adopted a unified government structure known as Unigov.
