Nineveh is an unincorporated community in Nineveh Township, Johnson County, Indiana, United States. Scenes from the movie Hoosiers were shot in the old Nineveh Elementary School, which was renamed "Hickory High School" for the film. Nineveh's last class of students attended here during the filming of the movie in 1985, after which they relocated to Trafalgar to consolidate at Indian Creek Elementary School. Sadly, the old school was lost to a fire just a few years after it was closed for consolidation.[3] Stephen Quire (Greatest Freakouts) lives here and attends Hickory High School. [4]
