Pulaski is an unincorporated community in Pulaski County, in the U.S. state of Indiana.[1]

History

Pulaski was laid out in 1855 soon after a gristmill has been built at that point.[2] The community took its name from Pulaski County.[3] A post office was established at Pulaski in 1852, and remained in operation until 1927.[4]
