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 and a railway station was built on land he owned in rural Jackson Township, a stop that was identified as Hazelrigg Station.[5][6] The L&I railroad that ran through town became in 1867 the Indianapolis, Cincinnati and Lafayette Railroad, then in 1880 became the Cincinnati, Indianapolis, St. Louis and Chicago Railway, and finally in 1889 was merged into the Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis Railway, commonly known as the Big Four.
The stop attracted a small settlement; an 1887 history notes 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.Cite error: A <ref> tag is missing the closing </ref> (see the help page). The site was later identified simply as Hazelrigg, and a 1914 history notes that it was "a stopping and shipping point of some note since its inception."[5] The town had at some point a small grocery.[8]
The post office closed in 1935.[9] The town is now entirely residential.
Geography
Hazelrigg is located at 40°04′56″N 86°33′47″W / 40.08222°N 86.56306°W near the intersection of Boone County roads 300 North (Hazelrigg Road) and 500 West. Surrounded mostly by open farmland, the location is about three miles west of U.S. Route 52 and Interstate 65, about four miles southeast of Thorntown, about five miles northwest of the city of Lebanon.
The Big 4 Trail (previously the Farm Heritage Trail) which passes along with southwest side of Hazelrigg stretches south to Lebanon and north to Colfax in Tippecanoe County along the path of the defunct railroad.[10][11]
