Arcana is a small, quiet place in Indiana, United States. It's known as an unincorporated community. This means it doesn't have its own local government like a city or town. Instead, it's part of a larger area called Monroe Township in Grant County.
A Look Back in Time
The name Arcana likely comes from a Latin word. This word means "secluded" or "hidden." It suggests a peaceful, out-of-the-way spot.
A post office opened in Arcana way back in 1858. This was an important place for people to send and receive letters. But the post office closed its doors in 1900.
