Limedale, Indiana
 | This article may need to be rewritten to comply with Wikipedia's quality standards, as this is GNIS "community" blither. Baker 1995, p. 198 clearly states that this was a village, actually called Greencastle Junction. That's its name in the Lewis Publishing county history, too, and that history explains why: it was where the TH&IR and LNA&CR crossed. Limedale was its post-office's name. (February 2025) |
