Hazelrigg is an unincorporated community in Jefferson Township, Boone County, in the U.S. state of Indiana.[3]

History

Upon the founding of the Lafayette and Indianapolis (L&I) Railroad Company in the 1860s, prominent local businessman Harvey Gregg Hazelrigg (1807–1877)[4] became a director of the company[5] and a railway station was built on land he owned in rural Jackson Township, a stop that became known as Hazelrigg Station[6]

The stop attracted a small settlement; an 1887 history noted that Hazelrigg Station had been "a stopping and shipping point of some note for the last twenty years" and possessed a store, public hall, blacksmith, and residences.

[7] It also had a post office, established 10 September 1873, with James Driskill serving as its first post master.[8] The site was later identified simply as Hazelrigg[9] [10] and had a one-room school north of town and a small grocery.[11] A 1914 history notes the Hazelrigg was "a stopping and shipping point of some note since its inception."[12]

The L&I railroad became the Indianapolis, Cincinnati and Lafayette Railroad, then in 1880 the Cincinnati, Indianapolis, St. Louis and Chicago Railway, and finally in 1889 became part of the Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis Railway, commonly known as the Big Four.

The post office closed in 1935.[13] [12]
