Stringtown, Miami County, Indiana

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Stringtown was a community, now extinct, in Jefferson Township, Miami County, in the U.S. state of Indiana.

History

[edit]

Stringtown, like its counterparts, was so named on account of its houses being strung along the road.[1] In its heyday, the town had a saw mill, a general store, and a cabinet shop. The community became a ghost town when its residents eventually left, and nothing remains of it today.[2]
