From Wikipedia’s history of Bourbon.
The town of Bourbon was laid out in 1853 when it was certain the railroad would be extended to that point. It took its name from Bourbon Township, which was named after Bourbon County, Kentucky, the former home of many of the early settlers.
The Bourbon Community Building-Gymnasium was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015.
