Arcola is an unincorporated community in Lake Township, Allen County, Indiana. Once a booming train station for farm products and a regional U.S. postal center in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, in more recent years it has become a bedroom community of Fort Wayne. The community has a volunteer fire department and an elementary school in the building which once housed grades one through twelve, including Arcola High School.[3] The famous annual Arcola tractor pull (arcolapull.com), often covered by ESPN, is held in the community.[4]
